It's not like you're taking them rock climbing, for crying out loud.


Oh, no, not a rock climbing dig!


I guess I should have posted in HTML so I could increase the font size for
the smiley for folks like you?

Still, last I read, the fatal accident rate for certain sports, including
rock climbing, is significantly higher than that for flying. In terms of
risk exposure for a single outing, comparing rock climbing to flying is not
far off from comparing flying to driving.


Per mile traveled? I'd certainly expect it to be different! :-) :-)
