Description
...I dropped my camera.
I had three cameras on me, mine, the climber in red and the girl at the bottom of the pitch.
I had taken this picture, and put my camera back into it's cover. As I went to take out another camera, my own just dropped. It bounced once and I seen it spinning down to oblivion.
My first... no ... second thought, was to hope it didn't clobber someone.
Imagine how pleased I was to get down to the bottom of the pitch and find it sitting there, intact, the camera is still working fine. The padded case proved to be a good investment.
No climbers were hurt in the making of this picture!
(Crowberry Tower, The Buachaille Etive Mor, N.W. Highlands.)

Little PS for finishing, but it's great. I don't remember how many things fell down when I was climbing - It tought me a lesson to have everything on the rope, even if it was in a backpack. Good memories.
