CLIMBING IS DANGEROUS.

STACK THE ODDS IN YOUR FAVOUR.

Double check your knots and harness buckle.
Inspect and replace your gear as necessary.
Know your partners and their habits.
Check your belay - are you sure your on?
Read all warnings - they can save your life.
Fixed gear is unreliable - back it up whenever possible.
Always double check your rappel system.
Rock can break - check your holds.
Keep and eye on the weather.
