IMO when you choose to have children you also choose to put their needs ahead of yours. You need to try to stay alive. This whole “I’m a better mom when I’m happy” is just a BS excuse to do whatever you want. This is what made mom happy is cold comfort to a child without a parent. When they go to college you can carry on as you like. [/quote]

Right! You can still go cycling just do it on a path instead of the road. Swim in the ocean, where they have life guards. Climb well traveled rock walls with ropes instead of free climbing. People act like it’s some and knit or nothing. Having people you love and people who love you in your life requires that you consider them and how your actions and choices affect them. It’s called being an adult. [/quote]

This is not the ethos of the men and women that live in the west. I lived in a western state and the women were really really rugged.[/quote]
Rugged doesn't have to mean stupid. Going into the wilderness is a risk. Doing technical sports while you are there increases the risk substantially. But there are ways to assess and mitigate some of the risk, and the question about this incident is whether the group made reasonable, well-known mitigations.

I did much more dangerous things before having kids. And I'm sure that people on this thread would consider things I still do unnecessary risks. But it's not an all or nothing.[/quote]
