Dale,
I bet if someone watched you in your local neighborhood there just might be a time where you rolled through a stop instead of the full count to 3.If not you might have OCD (just joking) What you call entitlement is just a home territory phenomenon that we all do occasionally, and when someone climbs or hikes or drives in an area often enough it does start to feel like home territory. But it has nothing to do with entitlement or lack of safety first.
I would love to hear from others but my guess is that most have great respect for the officers who put their lives on the line every day not to mention the rescues they do.
The real life stories I have read on this board have been true real life adventures and often calculated risks. This is the enjoyable part, but I also enjoy hearing about everyone's opinions backed up with their life experience.The opinions that are cut and pasted are just well, boring.
P.S. Have you ever watched Mike Row's show about Safety First?
It is one of the funniest shows and it helps us to not take ourselves too seriously.
Hope to see you on the mountain.
