bummer dude, but it would not be fun if it were not for the fear factor, unfortunately these things happen sometimes, you ever get to send it afterwards?
@bender82801 Thanks for your comments bender. I believe Clint had climbed this one before. I think climbing would be even more enjoyable without the danger. The danger is just one small part of it all.
That crack looks nice and parallel; no reason why the gear wouldn't hold unless it was a shit placement, flaring crack or really shallow. Which was it?
@hajenchri There are more ways for gear to fail then what you have listed. I think a contributing cause to this failure was the smoothness of the crack. The friction coefficient might not have been high enough for the cam to work.

Lucky you didnt land on your head, not wearing a helmet is foolhardy

I hope the climber is ok, it was very lucky you didn't land on your head, not wearing a helmet is foolhardy.

Ouch.
What goes sliding down the rope at 1:28?
Was that a piece of gear that dislodged?

His belayer seemed to spend more time looking at the ground than the climber ... not that it would have helped much.

@sydneydoc This is just not true.

sydneydoc, why would you bother writing such a demonstrably wrong comment? proud that you noticed multiple quick glances toward the ground? fuck off.
