Which whipper is scarier? How about taking an unexpected one on an ice screw in bad ice. :( :cry:

I've never taken an ice climbing lead fall but my friend did while I was belaying him. Lucky for him it was a short fall and the screw held.

we all know that the first rule of ice climbing is 'don't fall'.

yuck! Ice falls suck.
