Does the Reporter Herald report on hikers who fall and scrape their knees?

The Loveland Herald-Reporter published a follow up for this story including links to Mt. Proj. Nicely done for a small town newspaper..

the newspaper article wrote:More often than not, Powers said accidents are the result of human error -- people will lazily disregard safety procedures, climb without all necessary gear or, more times than not, get hit by falling ice.
Those lazy climbers just can't be bothered to dodge icefall.
