First off: get some instruction on placing gear. You're very lucky to have gotten down safe placing bail gear behind two dislodged chock stones.

Second: learn to read a guide, there were numerous easy options to escape; you didn't have to bail.

Third: I like sours & pilsners (this time of year at least).

Well it is "climbing season" (whatever that means) in CO now.

Somewhere out there an epic tale of narrowly averted disaster, cheated death and heroic self-rescue in mountain climbing is being toasted with celebratory beers...

Wow. What an ass. You don't know anything about the circumstances in which they bailed. So get of your high horse Mr Gear placement, bail anchor expert.

Are you trying to help them or boost your own ego.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
