1. somebody hanging on to a cliff with their fingernails and toenails, no safety rope
2. betting their life on a piton that may have a crack in it, or the rock may be soft, or the rock has a fault in it and may spall
3. betting on a single rope which may have an undetected internal flaw
4. roped to a moron who may fall and pull me off with him (has happened to climbers)
it's nope nope nope nope for me. I also stay 10 feet back from a cliff edge, because the extra weight may cause the edge to give way.
You guys can do as you like, though. It's a free country!
