What's the deal with these falls? Every time I took a lead fall on this thing I would end up falling straight down and stopping with absolutely no swing to get back on the rock with. Boink, boink, boink, boink, boink, boink, boink, boink... This is one of my first really overhanging routes. Are they usually this bad?

Man you need to learn how to boink right. I can get back on twink within 2 boinks. Best way to do it is get both hands up as high as you can and touch you hips to your hand and let go! Make sure you beleyer is high up i have decked many people by boinking

Loose rope or belayer hop = no swing. Tight rope big swing. Choose wisely!
