(Finger cracks that bisect a slab are gnarly. Instead of doing fingerlocks in finger cracks this spring use your ice tools and torque your way up that pristine finger crack. Anasazi Velcros preferred but extra cojones for single-point crampons)

(long-winded narrative about my latest avoidable EPIC that highlights my incompetence. The irony is completely unbeknownst to me)

(overdramatic response with x number of personal insults to OP ((x=#of lines in OP))

(flurry of single word or line responses further insulting OP)

(overly serious post asking for everyone to calm down, requests all pertinent information about OP, and lecture about how this demonstrates the need for self-rescue and competence when climbing)
