@jfncxm I am a Metolius sponsored climber, and appreciate the comment, and in respect of truthfulness, humbly disagree. We actually developed that new pad in Tahoe, Dave Hatchett, actually... I use that pad and love it, but if I had been using it on this particular occasion, James might be dead. This spot required a full-on catch. The spotting pad can only block someone, ie change their fall vectors. James missed the pad entirely on this. A catch was the only way! A football style block
I thought you said you had him!!! This would have never happened if your buddy was using the new spotting pad from metolius............I rest my case and wont spot highballs without it.
Haha nasty fall!!! But great ascent in the end!! Looked like a hard climb????
