He might be on to something... I hiked more 12ers than 13ers and 14ers combined in 2022.
I rarely saw anyone & have no regrets (not even a letter).
14er climbing should be simple!

Re: 14er climbing should be simple!
On a semi-epic 14er, 3rd class, a climber above us had fell. Tried to render aid as he was pretty bloodied up but he was going to soldier back down.
Said he thought the helmet saved his life.
Finished any debate in my mind. Some risks are more controllable than others but all accidents strike like a thief in the night. Being age 19 or 69 is irrelevant.

"Quicker than I can tell it, my hands failed to hold, my feet slipped, and down I went with almost an arrow’s rapidity. An eternity of thought, of life, of death, wife, and home concentrated on my mind in those two seconds. Fortunately for me, I threw my right arm around a projecting boulder which stood above the icy plain some two or three feet." Rev. Elijah Lamb
