Accidents in North American Climbing 2023

Well edited. I especially liked the focus, in the intro and in analyses, on transitions. These are where the screwup factor can be highest and where we all need frequent reminders to slow down and take time to reframe our minds.

Accidents comprise a combination of factors: inexperience, poor judgment, inadequate preparation, and bad luck. The first three are, for the most part, within our control and that's why we read this. Each year I try to learn something that will make me a better climber and person.
