Wheelchair-bound man left halfway up Mount Snowdon Quote: A WHEELCHAIR-bound man suffered mild exposure after being abandoned halfway up a mountain by a group of charity climbers who gave up carrying him. The 31-year-old man was left sitting on the steep and rocky Llanberis Path by the rest of his party of six, who were martial artists on a charity climb of Mount Snowdon in North Wales, the TimesOnline reports. “The poor bloke was sitting there in his wheelchair for quite a while,” climber Dave Morrell, who witnessed the incident, told the TimesOnline. “It was a bit mean of them to leave him there while they carried on to the top. But other climbers went over to talk to him. He was just getting very cold.” The man was met by his party during their descent but they pleaded exhaustion and called out a rescue team to carry him down. Fifteen members of the Llanberis mountain rescue team ferried the man to the mountain railway where a train brought him back to ground level. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574...15-401,00.html __________________ Forum Rules The Thanks! button Spelling and the TTR How to insert a picture Using our search feature Copying and pasting articles TTR Advertising opportunities

I guess saying "It's all downhill from here" would be inappropriate?

What jerks! Get him halfway up the mountain, desert him, and then ca't get him down?? They should be horsewhipped! And they should have to pay for the rescue! __________________ Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
