billcoe Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 "I got that on video dude!" [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fenWzUBndo&feature=related WTF is this? Please so not watch this is you are averse to extreme stupidity and think all belayers and belays are always great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Looks like the climber was lowering after completing a TR and the belayer tried to hold the wrong end of the rope. The belayer certainly deserves the rope-burn he probably got. Lucky this didn't turn out worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtysloper Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Stupid climbers don't last long. Or at least climbers with stupid belayers don't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky_joe Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 why isn't the climber even a little mad? i get annoyed being short roped, but this guy made this error appear to e routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I love how his belayer just stands there like nothing happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky_joe Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 damn, now that i've watched the video a few times, i'm beginning to wonder if this is a common occurrence with this particular group...I mean not one person of the five in the video even flinches when the climber decks. I dunno about that, having come within a few feet of decking at smith myself (thanks to a just WONDERFUL belay *reeks with sarcasm), I can say that people in the area definitely reacted to seeing bad fall with a lot more gusto than these jerks. And I wasn't even hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Looks to me like it was preplanned cause they wanted to get a big fall on video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CollinWoods Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It doesent look like it hurt him too bad, anyways... But if it wasent preplanned, what do i know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Gotta say that video is bogus but I say that about a lot of stuff. Anyhow, are you the dude that had to catch himself when his belayer let the end of the rope slip though the Gri? I was there with my girl and she won't climb anymore b/c of it. If that was you, good catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
