    A Day of Defying Death or Headed to Cougartown

    I thought that I'd create a post about my experience today. While climbing, the bridge of my 3 month old Cougar saddle decided to give out. Yep, it failed, with my weight in it. Fortunately for me I had a hold of the rope. Now, I'm not going to tell some grand story about being a...
