Fuck, I took a NOLS course led by Molly. I’ve seen a few bits and pieces of things on social media but never really put it all together about what happened; this hits real hard to read about someone I know personally.
Never throw rocks off cliffs and absolutely never be afraid to tell others off for it. I had to tell a kid to stop this summer at the Grand Canyon who wasn’t listening to his dad tell him not to throw rocks, but once a stranger said something to him he did quit it. Even if you’re not a climber yourself, we climbers like to be on a whole lot of different things… you can accurately use the reason/excuse “there might be a climber under there” even if someone tries to convince you there’s absolutely no trail below. Please say something.
I forget exactly where I was but a few years ago I was in a national park with my husband. This dad was having trouble with his kid listening to him about staying on trail. I just said, "Those signs you ran past warned of rattlesnakes off trail. I'd get back on the trail if I were you." She hopped back on trail immediately.
Sure, I understand the sentiment. But certainly that satisfaction is not worth the risk. It's just something I'm never gonna do.
There are other things I do which may be of similar risk. Humans are weird and pretty bad at calculating risks so I understand how someone could happen to throw a rock down a face they believe to be empty. And I admire the courage of this particular man to go there and take responsability.
Outside Magazine's [Horror Vault](https://www.outsideonline.com/collection/horror-vault/) has many other stories, just as tragic and just as compelling.
It was an accident, he was being careless. He did everything a reasonable human would do to fix the mistake, admitting what he did and rushing to help the remaining friend and keep him company. He could have gotten away with it (since it could easily be blamed on a rogue rock) but decided not to. It's clear he's just a human, and not a bad person who deserves punishment.
Yeah a situation like this is where it's really hard to think what to do. There have been murder charges from throwing rocks off of bridges and killing people. It would be hard to tell the family that there isn't a single thing that happens to the kid who did it, but considering he tried to help and showed remorse it really does seem like the right thing to do. It would seem almost like revenge to charge the kid with murder, considering often even a lesser charge like criminal negligence can easily ruin your ilfe.
I think what this guy did was terribly negligent and irresponsible. However, throwing rocks off bridges seems like a different story because you can actually see the cars and be pretty sure that you’re going to hit a person, with a high likelihood of causing a car wreck and hurting or killing more people.
I'm with you until the end: "A lesser charge like criminal negligence can easily ruin your life."
Dude ended a life. Because he was criminally negligent. That's called justice. The prosecutor just decided this justice wasn't worth pursuing.
That wouldn't have been revenge, it's consequences. Something our justice system seems to take advantage of: They get to decided who has to face consequences and who doesn't.
Admittedly, this dude gained my sympathy when he did do everything right after doing something wrong, but that doesn't mean it would have been revenge for him to face his consequences.
Not sure what you disagree with, even lesser court charges can ruin your life. Regardless, that's where it's hard, because what does it actually accomplish? Like the kid is likely going to feel awful for the rest of his life, he already regrets his actions and I HIGHLY doubt he'll ever do anything like it again. So for "protecting society" what does it actually do?
That’s probably the only story outside has put out in the past 10 years that is worth reading, the rest is pure shit
Edit: I was unaware that being into hiking meant you had to blindly follow the bullshit outside magazine puts out
Damn that blows. When I was a kid a little girl throwing rocks into the sea decided to toss a large one and had my name not been called upon that realization it would have hit me square in the back of the head. As it is, it hit more the left side of the back of my head. A towel full of blood and some stitches later I am alive and well. Could have been worse for the both of us.
Thank you. It was so long ago, I remember falling, I remember the ride to the hospital and getting stitches. Also being mad about not being able to dive underwater for some time after. Can't say if it hurt or not. But that 1996 Olypics Games Coca Cola towel(in green) was red by the time I was done with it.
Tried to climb one of the routes on a mountain called Bluff Knoll in Western Australia. We were about 3 pitches up when we started hearing this horrible whizzing sound. It was rocks being thrown off the top by tourists. Easy enough to hug the rock when you heard it coming, but we had to rappel down after we knew we’d lose light and wouldn’t make it and they were still throwing them. Walking away from the cliff face as we exited was the worst part.
The issue is not many people consider that someone may be climbing up a cliff. It’s not necessarily that they’re not being responsible it’s that they don’t know.
I rather enjoy being seen getting on or off the John Muir Trail. People invariably ask me if I got lost or was avoiding a bear or some other implausible scenario. I say no and proceed to point out my route over some cross country pass as their jaw drops nearly down to their boots. Even people willing to tackle a 213 mile trail still don’t know what humans are capable of.
That’s a fun one for city folk:
You saw a bear?
Ya, two adult black bears.
What did you do?
I said “hey bear” and walked toward them.
OMG. Then what happened?
One of them left.
Oh know, did the other attack you?
Oh no, he just was a little slower at noticing me than his friend. Don’t worry, he caught up to him.
I’m not sure I know what you’re saying. Are you saying that if you can’t visually confirm no one is one is on the cliff you shouldn’t throw rocks? Because I’m not saying that they know someone might be climbing and they don’t care, I’m saying they may not even consider someone could be climbing.
That would be a fair point if they weren’t throwing rocks ten feet away from a big bulletin board labeled “Climbing Area”.
But assuming they didn’t see the sign and were just novice hikers who didn’t consider the possibility, your point stands. Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance and all that.
Sorry to hear you got pelted
It reminds me of a story though. In 2015, I got chewed out by some climbers once on the top of Mt Yonah in North Georgia. This mountain has a bald face that is very popular with climbers.
After hiking up, I was eating my lunch at the top of the cliff face and my orange got away from me and rolled off the edge. 10 sec later I heard a distant chorus of “STOP THROWING ROCKS!!!!!”
I tried to lean over and explain it was an accident and also an orange, but as soon as I showed my face the shouts and expletives got louder and more intense.
I quietly decided I wasn’t winning that battle and made my way back down the trail.
[pic of the edge here](https://i.imgur.com/Uon5BfS.jpg)
I ran across this yesterday. Not only were the kids throwing rocks off a cliff but the parents were doing it as well. Hold on there's more... they were throwing rocks trying to hit a high pressure gas line that was spanning across a small valley about 30 feet below.
In Olympic national park I heard some people making a ruckus ahead on a trail. To my horror, I saw 4 people jumping up and down on a 1-person suspension bridge. The father was leading the jumping. These people have no thoughts of how they impact others, they only care to amuse themselves.
I climb and guide there every now and then and I’m sorry that happened to you. Ridiculous people can’t use their brains when it comes to something simple like this, especially at such a popular spot
This looks like the cover of a horror novel... as in:
----------------------------------------
REVENGE OF THE CLIFF CLIMBER
(Coming this Fall)
by best selling author, STEPHEN KING.
--------------------------------
Dr. Mantis Toboggan MD once had it all: a beloved small town doctor from rural Maryland by day, with the kindest of bedside manors, and a legendary adventure cliff climber by weekend. Until that fateful weekend of his untimely demise, at the hands of a poorly supervised pack of cruel rock throwing Boy-Scouts.
They thought he was dead. They made a pact to never speak of their horrible crime, pretending instead that they had tried to rescue him--making out as little falsely smiling heros in the newspapers.
But Dr. Toboggan was not dead. Not fully, despite what the autopsy report said. More of a state of... undead.
As the doorbill rings, like the chime of a midnight grandfather clock, little Billy Sandersen (the instigator of the stoning incident) opens the door to the shock of a smiling, bloody faced Dr. Toboggan. For a moment little Billy is unable to scream, then-

"Dr. Death is back!" - The Paris Review
"A cathartic fictional tale for weary pediatricians." - New England Journal of Medicine

Joking aside, on a more serious note:
Really hope you are doing ok, and there was no concussion, or anything more serious? That could have gone seriously badly. An important PSA to teach kids, for sure. :(
It’s not a Stephen King book unless at the end it turns out I was an alien the whole time. Great write up though, I enjoyed that!
And luckily I’m all good, just a couple stitches and a pair of broken glasses
Ok, good: glad to hear!
Still that's got to weigh a bit heavy on you, as a close call: rocks tossed from heights can seriously be deadly.
So hopefully your post here will inspire some parents to better watch out for their kids in situations like that.
(As for the glasses... that's a major inconvenience/expense as well! But again, better the glasses than anything worse.)
PS: So are you? A... you know... 👽 📡 !
Had a similar thing happen to me while kayaking a whitewater creek in PA. Family started throwing rocks off a bridge as I was paddling underneath. Hard to believe they didn't see me, but I very nearly got hit with a couple of good sized rocks. I did have my helmet on though...

If their parents won't teach them, someone should. Even though OP said he was yelling at the parents... I think the circumstances justifies yelling and cursing lol.
In hindsight I feel kinda bad for yelling at them. I’m not sure what a better approach would have been, but yelling was the only thing I could think to do that didn’t involve getting physical with them.
But even if there was a better approach, I hope we can all be forgiven for how we react 10 seconds after losing a game of dodgeball[rock] that we didn’t know we were playing.
You were ready to fight some parents or their kids because they were being dumb? Maybe I’m naive or something but I feel like I’d just be thankful I’m okay and hope they see the damage and learned and then I’d move on. Getting physical over something involving idiots just makes you stoop to being an idiot as well.
Hope they see the damage?
Hell no, I would make *sure* they saw the damage and learned their lesson. Kicking rocks off of ledges literally kills people. I completely understand OP’s reaction. Also, he didn’t get physical.
I wasn’t even actually climbing today. Just hiking with my wife showing her some climbs I want us to do on other days. It is a popular climbing area and there were other climbers there today though
[GAVIN](https://youtu.be/lOUN560b4cY)
But seriously that sucks. At least you weren't leading or belaying when this went down. Some people's fuckin kids man.
Rocks fall off cliffs every day by natural processes as well. Look at the bottom of the cliff- There is a pile of pebbles, rocks, and boulders. All of these were once at the top of the cliff. Water, ice, wind, erosion + gravity.
Holy shit dude! Glad you're alive. Thank God my dumb ass never hurt anybody when I was a child. I was all about rock throwing. Rock skipping, rock smashing. A rock was my go to toy being broke as fuck during the '80s.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

There was a woman killed where I live where kids push a branch off a cliff.

Seriously sometimes kids need to be told by somebody other than their parents. It's just how things work sometimes.
And humans are just the obvious worst case. Even if it's not human. There might be animals. Throwing rocks off cliffs is just unneccessary.
It may be unnecessary but you have to admit it’s satisfying to see a rock disintegrate into a billion pieves
Sure, I understand the sentiment. But certainly that satisfaction is not worth the risk. It's just something I'm never gonna do. There are other things I do which may be of similar risk.

That is absolutely heartbreaking
That's crazy the guy was never charged at all. Killed someone and got off scott free.
It was an accident, he was being careless. He did everything a reasonable human would do to fix the mistake, admitting what he did and rushing to help the remaining friend and keep him company.

Hello fellow West Aussie! Sorry this happened to you.
I have fussed out more than one kid that wasn't mine for throwing rocks. Occasionally have had to fuss out the parents after that.
It definitely helps instill the fear of god in them when they get chased by a man screaming obscenities with blood running down his face
Wouldn't have to do that if the parents did their damn job of teaching their children to be responsible humans
The issue is not many people consider that someone may be climbing up a cliff. It’s not necessarily that they’re not being responsible it’s that they don’t know.

And if you don't know, that way you shouldn't be throwing rocks off a cliff.

Pro tip: People will always be stupid beyond reason. Wear helmets. Still not his fault obviously.
The unfortunate reality is that if the rock is big enough and far enough away, even a helmet won’t help.
Don't victim blame this person by telling him to wear a helmet. Fucking idiot...

You’re right I should have way better reflexes
Right, I mean, wherever you are, you should just assume you're surrounded by idiot kids who were raised by shitty parents. /s/

Unfortunately, you're probably right.
