Yes the younger generation is "easily" offended when we're frequently targeted and blamed.  We are your creation. 

Maybe there is a reason that you're blamed for it.  You don't listen to people with experience and then fuck up and whine.  We fucked up but didn't ask to be spoon fed and whine about it when things went wrong.  What kills me is it seems the new generation thinks being dropped is "normal".

To recap:

"Echo rock was my buddy, I was finishing up touch and go while he was setting up double dip for some newer climbers. He was being belayed by a newer climber. He’s done that route multiple times over the last couple decades but it’s been 5+ years and he doesn’t climb much anymore..."

my buddy wasn't young, 46, and certainly not new to climbing, he fully admits to being stupid.

We made eye contact when we realized what was happening. Then she looked down and got down to business. I never took my eyes off of her though. Saucer eye'd or snail eye'd, i'm not sure which.

You can post pictures of JOSAR without consent, the only thing you can’t post are pictures with the victims face without his consent.   I was a fireman in Los Angeles for 30 years and had our pictures and videos plastered all over the news, we may not have liked it sometimes but it’s perfectly legal.  

If the patient is in plain view and in the public he or she may be photographed without consent.

Dear #OkBoomer, it seems like you've not read the thread or the more detailed post...  to summarize (and stolen from the victims friend) please read the Bolded parts:

Dear Gumby.... You done screwed up mate. 


I am a millennial, I get tired of hearing boomers rant about how they never made mistakes. Mistakes happen. Just like you screwing up and not reading my post very well. It is important to own it and learn from it.

Ohhhh I see.  Either I can't read or you can't write ;-P but I think we're on a similar page of a different book.

Side Note: I love throwing out the #OKBoomer.  It ALWAYS gets people worked up on MP.

Does anybody know how things worked out for the guy who fell off the route next to Sail Away? Same day. Helo rescue. It was about the third post on this thread that mentioned it.
