She shoudlnt of went up there if she knew she wouldnt be able to get down.

Thanks alot Neal you had me in tears. I should've known better :rolleyes:

Climbers, in general, underestimate the value of going to "getting down" classes. They are, in comparison, fairly boring, though no less valuable, as this tragic story reveals.

George Kilmer can go fuck himself.

What a cocksucker. Simply disgusting.

Edit: Yet another fake story I took seriously.

I understand, Mig. I was in tears also.

It's a very sad story.

Well he did have a point when you think about it I mean the tree had been there for 10 times longer than the girl.

But I think that there is some subtext in this story that we haven't talked about yet. That while environmentalists particularly the gentleman in this piece may come off as callous by protecting the natural world against the encroachment of human consumption, animal rights people are just freaking nuts. Say what you will about the tree hugging uncle in this story what about the future PETA combat protester of a niece that completely ignored the fact that a cat domestic or not is an animal and as such has certain instincts about the natural world. Ignoring this she unwisely thrust herself into the situation ignoring her shortcomings and inexperience and decided to save the animal, albeit inadvertently she actually in all likelihood hindered the cat from descending. (well her and all of the lower branches that she hit on the way down)

That's a good one PL, wherever you dug it up.

But I wouldn't be surprised if this were true. Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if the man became regarded as a hero for saving his tree, to be honest. Hmmm, I smell another article coming next month, when George Kilmer is the controversial Grand Marshal of the Arbor Day Parade!!

Articles are made by fools like me.....
But only God can make a tree.

Imagine if the tree was on the property line of a church and a municipal building!

Sorry to join in so late, but I just wanted to say that this article provided some much-needed relief. No wonder I'm the president of Neal's fan club.
