E11 Clip

I have had a fall just like that, it sucks...

[sidwills]

He didn't break anything, he had his leg caught by the rope. When you have the balls and skill to to lead at that kind of grade, feel free to come back and share your heroic tales of how fucking good you are. Dick.

sure, his fall ended abruptly. but that wasn't the issue. if he'd come clean off the rock, he would have just got a bit of a wedgie. the reason he was in so much pain was that his leg was caught around the rope. Gri-Gri's don't make you fall bad, they just stop the newbie belayer from dropping the climber if they were to panic and let go of the rope as they were flying into the wall.

@NgatiPakiha Gri Gri cannot be used for belaying in trad climbing. They break too quickly and stress the placed gear.

[bandag]

the mistake there wasn't putting his leg behind the rope. The mistake was giving his belayer a gri-gri. That fall would have been fine on an ATC

[dangrout]

thats complete rubish, even on an ATC if his leg caught the rope the same way that would have still happend. i was climbing something much easier, came of, my belayer had an atc and i still pilled back into the wall and went upside down.

[CrichtonNo5]

That was damn lucky. And that's why Dumbarton rock is the hardestin the world

[TomMetalhead]

[preece56]

[Oli001122]

I'mm guessing your talking about TWOL which had a proposed grade of E12 7a but when DAve made the first repeat he graded E9 6c

[weeluskie]

i was at dumbarton rock the other day and its like the best bouldering spot in scotland there was guys on the slope beside this and i dont think this is the worst fall i got the dvd

[mems190]

Get your flipping leg out from behind the rope

[georgepowell]

im sure he would of done, if he could. it's not like someone as experienced as that just plain doesn't know that you shouldn't put your leg around the rope.

Hop on Rhapsody and see what you really focus on when you're climbing through the crux sequence 10 metres above your last piece. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time, and it's not like Dave MacLeod is a novice...

[holtbp]

lucky lucky bloke to have not done much more damage.

Well held, that was a long fall.

[jayclimbs]

Im going climbing with dave on the 18th of january and im 14 :). He's comming to our local center.

[igethurtalot92]
