This is the most amazing version I have ever heard of this.... being an Aerosmith fan of course! Enjoy 3_7unIvB8PU

Inverted falls come from no where... I once took an inverted fall and ended up landing on my belayer head first. I couldnt figure out what had happened until I saw the huge gushing gash where the rope had caught my leg. Practice falls are useless. I never needed to practice falling cuz the the first climb i attempted to lead was an 11+ route on a 45 degree wall. I fell off..

a #8 BD stopper. I didnt know how to place gear and never lead tad before and bought myself a set of stoppers, I went straight to Harrison and got my friend to belay on a 5.9 dihedral called great expectation. I got pumped out laybacking and trying to place my stoppers and when I blindly placed that stopper I just started hauling for the top, sure enough I fell off and ended up about 6 ft below my stopper that had held me. I rested and finished the route!

pussy...lol

"Practice fall" on a bolt could have caused the same injury.... Very sad. Very True.... wearing a helmet is very smart... I always wear mine and I dont care if I look cool or not... but if the practice fall was two feet above a bolt (wouldnt rip like the gear) the fall would have been much shorter and the climber probably wouldnt have flipped and died. THe safest place to learn to lead and 'practice fall' is in the gym.. climbers can fall off the roof or on overhangs and not get injured

Didnt he reapeat N Butress of Steinbok in the Anderson range??? The one with 5.11 climbing above no/crappy pro and a single micronut belay?

thats retarded..... short practice falls onto bolts are okay but why on gear?

I only did First BLood and LDU ... the trail was nice and easy to follow (not quite as nice as harrison though) and I wanted to do Exaggerator and Life on a chain but I was late for something and had to go... Im going back soon to climb everything!

I went to Nicolum today and on-sighted the crack/layback climb jesse is doing (Land Down Under) ... that was mega fun... good gear and nice realxed climbing.. the 5.10 crux was low down before the flake and the flake was pretty much 5.9 and easy 10a ..

That looks like an intense climb! a bit scary and hard

I read aboutthat.. isnt it called Bamboozled Butress or something? Funny story.

how much harder is the complete?

yay.... im stoked for NEB

the info on Rockclimbing.com is better... more routes . includes the two big routes up the main face

ive fallen farther than that at indoors.... skipping clips of course lol

I think if someone is working on a sweet all trad line you should bolt it every 6 inches and aid it on the bolts.. thats good ethics Also if someone if bolting a sport route chop it and solo it

I have been adding info for climbing at Harrison Bluffs on Mountainproject.com and rockclimbing.com Look in canada, British Columbia, Fraser Vally, Harrison BLuffs to find info.... go there its fun.

In the second pic is he wearing two chalkbags??????????

Nice! The whole area is jam packed with super fun routes!

SICK! very cool!

BTW I have fancy NF and patagonia synthetic climbing pants and junk but they were in the wash cuz i left them on my floor after my last trip and it took a while for them to migrate to the laundry

is the access to Ratney and StoneRabbit still good? I dont know if it takes the same road or not...

i beleive that if you do the climb but purposely hangdog and dont actually redpoint it shouldnt be a problem.... TR'ing is usually okay too

I know a way in.... it involves rotors and a motor... really is too bad about the road though

is yak crack dry or just snow free?
