>>1377934>Maurice Wilson>He bought no specialist equipment and made no attempt to learn technical mountaineering skills, such as the use of an ice axe and crampons. Instead, he spent just five weeks walking around the modest hills of Snowdonia and the Lake District before he declared himself ready.>He showed his lack of experience when he found a pair of crampons at an old camp, which would have helped him tremendously, but threw them away.>The entry showing how Wilson thought steps cut into the ice the previous year might still be present has been cited as particularly strong evidence of his ignorance of the mountain environment, and of his continuing failure to understand the task before him.literally the superspeeder of mountaineering, aka pants-on-head retarded
