Blue Alien...great Gunks piece.
I took my first good fall on gear on Classic Hand Crack in Yosemite and managed to heel hook the rope, get flipped, yank my belayer off the ground and ended up with my head about 3 feet off a pointy rock. I then went back up and fell at the same spot, but without the hook and flip. I'm still not sure why I popped the second time. Enh.
Actually watching the whips in Hard Grit has probably done more for my confidence in gear placements than anything else. ;^)
