ketch Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 You might walk away, but you will often be sore and it will often involve cleaning out your pants. Quote
ivan Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 if you die b/c of a rope failure its a sign dog really didn't like you Quote
genepires Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 If you are 100 feet up at a belay. Leader goes out 10 feet from belay with no gear in between him and the anchor, falls, then you got a fall factor 2. If the ground is steep enough and the belayer does not let go of the rope, you will walk away. Quote
