Yet Another Reason to Sew it Up
Yet Another Reason to Sew it Up
I've had just about enough of this shit.
Way to not even place a directional... and I try to not place gear in suspect flakes...especially when they flare downwards. The good news is that bush broke his fall. That could've been ugly.
Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.

And THAT'S why I want to learn gear placement from someone who knows how to place "bomber" gear, when I start leading Trad. I don't want stuff yanking out of the wall when I weight it from knee level. And if I was climbing with someone and they laughed like his friend did as I took a 20' fall backwards, I'd never talk to the person again, let alone climb with them. Laughing at a fall if you walk away is ok, once everything checks out, but, during and immediately after? Jeez...and people say I'M harsh.

Mistake #1 - No helmet.
Mistake #2 - No directional anchor (As already pointed out).
Where did that boy learn to climb?
