We all live with blinders on. They come with having a personal vantage point.

The idea that everything is purposeful really changes the way you live. To think that everything that you do has a ripple effect, that every word that you speak, every action that you make affects other people and the planet.

I see people having fits because their coffee is too hot or their baked potato is too cold, or some random something is imperfect and somebody can be blamed for it. These people can fly off the handle and nobody says, 'Too much beef will do that to a person.' If it's a vegan: a clear case of alfalfa sprout poisoning.

Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.

Also, we're doing what any field geologist would do in an area like this: climbing to a good vantage point for plotting a route.

Ultimately, the decision is theirs to make. Our responsibility, from our vantage point, is to make clear the risks.
