Distel32 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 yikes!! it looks like he was one move away from a bomber jam. what does that pitch go at anyway? Â 230 feet. 13 or something stupid hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whirlwind Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 nice footwork i think this is why he fell. the last move he did put him too high over his feet and as a result they lost friction on the rock at least thats what i think killer line though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whirlwind Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 it's pretty bad ass, yeah the fall is pretty long but seeing him climb is rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 yeah, those back steps are pretty cool...seems like it be hard to avoid snaggging yer leg doin that. Â it'd be sweet to see more footage of him climbin cool stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Was I just imagining it, or did it look as though his belayer gave him a very "dynamic" belay? He was no more than 10 ft above his last piece, but fell close to 40 ft, by my reckoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I'll have to take a closer look at it later. Something similar happened to me in Yosemite, but only on a 5.9 :-P I was getting set to make the last critical move after a long corner crack, brought my foot up, and put it right down some quartz that had been deposited previously in a vein and later exposed by weathering. Suffice it to say, it was like putting your foot on a mirror.Out went the foot, big big whipper for me. It seems unlikely here since the rock seems like good sandstone.

Â yeah, kinda hard to tell how far he was, or how high above the last piece...probly at least a couple of body lengths above it. Â A dynamic belay is probly a pretty good idea on that limestone though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I don't care if your "calculations" prove otherwise either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I allowed for a lot of rope stretch in my calculations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Looks like his fall was pretty reasonable considering the location of his belayer. You can catch just a flash of his belayer at the end of the clip, he looks like he was quite a ways from the base of the cliff and got yanked in with the fall. Also it looks like he was more like 15 feet out from his last piece (estimated 5-3 foot reaches). So blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distel32 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 rope stretch on a 70meter cbs. he is at the end of a 230ft pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
