I think that you know what I mean.
Hi Duncan,
That's the Touching The Void guy yeah?
Complacency is a killer.
None of us are beyond screwing up, I have adopted the same approach on CCR since I first used them in 1989.
Just before I descend, I have a good look around and say to myself
'Have a good look, because if you are not on top of your game, you will never see this again.'
I always remember that today could be the day I drown...............
Cheers,
Dave Cooper.
