“An incident was recently reported in the French Alps, where the authorities had investigated a fatal fall which had occurred whilst abseiling. The investigators found that the abseil anchor sling had failed. The cause was found to be damage to the sling from formic acid. The most likely source of this formic acid was thought to be from ants, which were found to be present in the area during the summer.”
Of course, if you’ve seen the 1977 movie, shown above, you already knew that ants can be deadly. So look out for wasps, rattlers, and ants. Stay inside people, it’s dangerous out there. (Best to have your Teddy Bear with you while climbing in case you need a hug.)
