How embarassed would you be...

From Ogwen mountain rescue this month


"The lead climber of this pair put her foot in a crack and then could not remove it as it had become firmly wedged. The Team were just returning from the previous incident so diverted to this job. It took a lot of washing up liquid and manipulation to finally free the foot. She was then able to be lowered off the crag and walk to the road with very little assistance. A very unlucky event!"

Clearly sensible climbers will now carry sachets of lube, as well as bags of chalk. Sometimes you need less friction, not more!

And in a bit of schadenfreude, shortly after laughing about that incident yesterday evening, I managed to wedge my forearm between the mattress and the headboard while changing the sheet, and had to call in Bridie to use all her strength to squish the mattress down so I could extract my arm.
