scary moments photo's
« on: October 29, 2011 »
Thought this might be an interesting thread.Anybody got a photo from a scary moment?

My scary moment was on the Benkerragh ridge,Macgillycuddy's Reeks.I had a bad ear infection & my balance was very poor.This ridge line was quite the scramble & not for the faint- hearted.

That looks awesome! The exposure can just kick in sometimes. Was the same in the only scary moment I can think off: tied into a few ice screws with my butt hanging over this, I suddenly panicked that my harness would just give way. Had to check it a few times before I could enjoy the view:



Though to see real nerves, you'd need to catch a photo of me about to phone a girl to ask her out: ice-climbing is much easier than women  ;D
