don't worry, he will need some C4 to get that thing off now

uhhhh, do you realize how much glue is in the red already, not to mention a few manufactured holds here and there, but thanks for bailing the truck out last weekend.

Yea, only one neon yellow nicros hold and a 4' by 4' pusher sloper. I also fixed a portaledge half way up paradise lost and downgraded it to 5.9+ and added two more slings to the anchor of Dracula because the three that were already there weren't enough.

Does anyone know if the person who decked is okay?

My guess is that he blew the 4th clip, which is right in the middle of the crux. If you do this ground potential is definitely an option no matter what anyone tells you. I've seen people come right above the belayer's head by falling without rope clipping slack out. It would be easy to slip off of t...
