Stewart Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Anybody have any or know where to get some pics of whippers? I have a Power Point Presentation due for my class and My Teacher wants me to include a 2 minute explanation of how I broke my leg via whipper. Thanks Quote
pink Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 funny how dean can take falls over and over and never get hurt. sorry to hear bout yer fall dude. Quote
Stewart Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 thanks Kev I got that one, but was trying to just use a picture so I don't have to use valuable time with a video, even though I could just show the last 20sec. I did find this one thats pretty good. Quote
ivan Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 no pix, but i could tape record a good version of the sound i made when i took my Huge Whipper this weekend saw your stuff still hanging there john - glad you didnt' add insult to injury by crashing all the way back down to the ground and getting 3 billion shards of ancient coke bottles embedded in your flesh!

Stewart Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 yeah pink, the fall in that video looks simular to the first time I broke my leg. However beacon has all those little arete's ledges and what not. Those are my curse. Quote

I did find this one thats pretty good. that's alright i reckon, but you pretty much need to have series of shots for it to convey the idea - wasn't there a thread last year about some giant fall at red rocks or indian creek? dude decked in it - i think there werea lot of stills in it too.

Stewart Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Yeah Ivan, I was attempting to go up the arete. I had my drill on a tag line, I figured 1 to 2 bolts until the fern filled crack near the top. Besides all the garbage, will probably be a pretty good line. Think I'm done with the ground-up business. But we'll see. Ground up is the coolest! Jon Quote
Stewart Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 is it possible to whip at the gallery? No, just ground fall Quote

That's what I'm talking about. a Series of photo's Quote
crimper Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 the indian creek climber was on "ruby's cafe," like 13a. he pulled a TCU or two out as he fell and then crashed down on his ass next to the belayer and a bystander. i remember some drivel from the peanut gallery hardmen about how blue and not yellow TCUs go where he placed his undercammed yellows. and there are a lot of stills. google it, stewart.

The other one WAS at red rocks. He was climbing the 5.9 at the end of the black corridor across from the stout short 5.11a. He grounded from 40 feet up. Quote

Folks left your stuff up there in case you want to check it out later yourself, if you want it pulled off now just say and one of us can take care of it. Here's some that might work for you Jon: I have a ground up story from the Ozone. There's probably a reason it's called "Ground up" if looking at my arm then was an indication. I have a route name for you already "After the Fall". Sort of a "Flying Dutchman" variation:-) You can ask Jim on that one. Here ya are bra, hope this helps for the PP presentation. Quote
billcoe Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 John had those Rubys Cafe pics on CC.com right here: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/519347/site_id/1#import Quote
kevbone Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Ground up routes are usually left unfinished. I think it is irresponsible as a route setter to ground up a route. For the most part. It is more bold for sure.......I am sure I will get hords of crap for this statement. I am prepared. Quote

I am prepared. i agree sir edmund hillary was so irresponsible for climbing everest ground up. it could be so much better of a route if done summit down. Quote
mkporwit Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 It's kinda like siege-climbing a sidewalk: [video:youtube]9U0tDU37q2M Quote
