Playground?Today we have the story of yet another mountain climber (yeah, because it's there, yada, yada, yada) who falls 1,000 feet into a ravine and ~get this ~ drags two teenagers with her.
Karin Vandenberg was hiking with her son and Steve Holding (who happens to be a billionaire), his wife and son on Mt. Olympus in Utah. Well, she fell. No surprise since none of the climbers had ropes or crampons to help with climbing on ice.
Ms. Vandenberg is dead and her son and the Holding boy are in serious condition.
Isn't there something criminal about dragging two teenagers up a mountain and then almost killing them? Wouldn't it have been better to watch the kids play soccer on a nice, flat field?
Oh, excuse me. That wouldn't have been exciting enough.
In my mind this mountain climbing lunacy and dragging minors along is akin to locking toddlers in cars when the temperature hovers around 90 degrees.
It just ain't right.
