catbirdseat Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Did he strike his head? It looked awfully close. That Gritstone is scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 I don’t think he hit his head. I do think he broke his leg. Ouch! Frickin grit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekend_Climberz Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Not really a huge whipper, just a bad landing :tdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) I guess that one way of looking at it! Or you could look at it like….mmmm… maybe the dude took a huge whipper. Edited February 9, 2007 by kevbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_t Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Gaia. He broke his leg. I think his belayer had spiked track shoes on in case he needed to run to take in slack. That movie rules (Hard Grit)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Looks like he could have placed some small gear right after he gets into the crack, a few feet above his last piece. But I wasn't there. Don't the Brits grid bolt cracks? That would have helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 My whipper on the ice with Tvashketarkena today was bigger and upside down. See ice forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well, Jens is an iconoclast, and he has a hard head- lots of bone and precious little room for gray matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Are you ok, Jens? I'm sure it is a big whipper to fall on 6bolts. Oh wait, that guy only had one tcu in and was free climbing, not "aid/ice/mix" climbing. Sorry, without video proof, you're just talking. But hey, thanks for coming by, beating your chest and then letting us know where we could read your amazing "story". Please feel free to let me know, but isn't aid, I mean, ice climbing with screws?

I own the video and he bled on the wound. Last I checked you don’t bleed with a sprained ankle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendershot Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 There was an article in Rock & Ice on that Crag, no bolts allowed. Lisa Rands did Gaia in Dosage 4, ran it out like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beleive this is a standing rule there, no bolts period. Bold climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 "Steward says it isn't a whipper if you fall on a bolt, even if you did fall the entire pitch." catbirdseat Does it really say "King of Spray" under your name catbirdseat? Please explain, I am relatively new to the site. Ohh yeah, check out my totally huge whipper that is way huge and totally bigger than any other whipper in the history of climbing. Its in the Ice Climbing Forum under "I'm way cooler than anyone on this web site" Its right under Jens post titled; "My whipper on the ice with Tvashketarkena today was bigger and upside down. See ice forum." And then you can check out my other self promotion under "blah, blah, blah" WOW!!! There really are tools that are sharper than an ice axe. Just kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice call snoop on the “im the best Ice climber around because I take whippers chest beating thread” Another one would be “hey look at me, I got some stolen gear returned” Well that is a good job, but to post it here so everybody can pat your back. Lame. That’s why this entire site should be spray. Because that’s all it really is. Any time you talk about yourself…..its SPRAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
