Prevention of Injury for Climbers

Good write-up -- especially:

Never run headlong into a trad or sport lead without having a good idea of what's going to happen up there; it could be your life!

Understanding what's underneath you when you're on the sharp end is CRITICAL. Just because you've clipped into some pro doesn't mean you're 100% safe. A 1~2m drop onto a small ledge below you, even though you're 20m off the ground can still break your heel and ruin your summer....

Right, @somebuttstuff?
