Ah yes, but let’s not forget the rock that was described as big as a “microwave” falling off

True! Point taken. I guess my statement was more focused on not knocking rocks onto other team members and not getting caught up in a slide and going down the mtn with the microwave sized rocks! There were rocks up there as big as houses, some teetering with the slightest touch. The objective dangers weren't really hidden.....they stared us in the face step by step.

Not for some....I get it.
