genepires Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 If I even manage to rock climb again, I want Wayne to belay me. That is some great belay technique and analysis. I don't think most belayers would have the wherewithal to know to jump down to remove enough slack. Old school knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Pete: Looking at the order in which the pulled pieces lay on his harness, He may have put in an over-cammed placement, then an undercammed one. He was doing a layback too, so in the blind. The crack is very solid, it was a shock to hear them pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I want you belaying me (OK, just repeating what Gene already said). Nice catch Wayne. The classic belay story you've told is Tim Olsen catching you on Wind Mountain with his bare hands as you'd started up before he even had his harness on then pulled a rock.
