Silly tangent… some people think all ropeless climbers are like that, but by reputation John Yablonski was actually… exactly like that. He somehow survived all his nutty ropeless climbs, so the only thing left was to kill himself on purpose. Still, about half of the most committed ropeless climbers survive, and the great majority of occasional or half-assed ones do. If the climb is far enough below your skill level and the rock is good then not much short of a heart attack can make you fall.
Also, because I am nine years old, my reaction to panel four was, “So, Cat… you busy tonight?” Ha ha, it is good to laugh, though I did not, and I am a mediocrity.
