[TheNateDogg1234]

[radean84]

[RabidNinjaStudios]

@radean84 Cut the rope, obviously. :)

[lightbulbtastic]

@radean84 your belayer has to lower you all the way back down

You should use Cool Edit Pro to edit the audio. Get rid of the whimpering.

[eatayeh]

That's one scary fall mate! It's quite a long fall! What was the distance between the bolts?

[genericusername124]

@eatayeh The fall was on a traverse about 20' up and climber's left of the last bolt

[Auraooo]

We can feel the fear in your voice... So scary! I Loved the thumb up at the end, like "all right ! easy !" :D

[HunterEisenberg]

Holy crap!!! At first when you were looking around at the lack of hand holds I was thinking "Why in the heck is this guy free climbing???" Thanks god you weren't, I would not want to see the video if you were...

[Luftgewehrindianer]

@HunterEisenberg Actually he is free climbing. You are talking about free solo climbing or freesoloing.

[MrSk8ingrules]

[NzE96]

Damn that should a hust...

[OrangeBoxPhoto]

[militiaseffect]

God I don't know what I would be saying. Probably "Oh Shit" repeatedly, and then I would sit there and just stare at the rock. Once I came to a stop of course.

[cro0zfl3xd3x]

[44Elanor]

very scared when it falls! :(

[Dombowerphoto]

[Nikooe01]

[Fedesnow72]

[highlandproductions]

Did you fall on a bolt or on a cam, it looks like your doing trad

[genericusername124]

@highlandproductions On a bolt—no room for gear on this route.

[drukenhard]

I thought this was going to be a video of the GoPro falling to show how much of a beating it can take

[Cryoze]

up = 80meter 3 hours , down = 80meter 4sec

[Rihardsk93]

[GoProCamera]

We like your video so much we made it Video of the Day on Facebook!

facebook(dot)com/goprocamera

Stop by and tell our fans how you made such a great video! They always love to hear about what settings were used and any other tips and tricks that will help them make great GoPro videos too!

Glad you were ok! Yikes!

[genericusername124]

@GoProCamera Awesome! Thanks for the bump, though I don't know that I have any real "tricks" to share. Just happened to be wearing the GoPro on the right day on the right climb.

[snowboarderr1234]

throw some chalk on those cuts and climb it again!

[rkirkw]

Nice video - glad you made it! Maybe should have had a couple more anchors set?

[jojothesurfer2]

were you ok?

[subasurf]

Fuck man...nice vid...that feeling just before you fall is the absolute worst! You know you're taking a whipper and you know you really don't want to.

[work1002]

That's the definition of a cheesgrader! Nice fall

[mhensley93]

that was crazy! i live by garden of the gods, its so cool

[zarash]

Is it fun to get so close to death?

[enricodemilito]

@zarash I had a similar experience and when you survive: "YES, IT'S FUN!"

[sdouce86]

"Almost lost a finger." haha

[AnthonyArroyoFilms]

How far was your closest anchor? Dang! Glad you had at least 1!

[JakeReed109]

thank god for a safety harness

[krypekeeper]

@JakeReed109 no. thank man.

[redtop91]

Jesus.

[grtwhthunter4]

how did u change your underwear and then finish your climb.Surely you didnt climb on with all that muddy load in you britchs. Oh gross,you did didnt you.

[penky4]

Thank god for ropes!!!

[HBclassical]

Surprised thus isn't on YouTube's featured!

[HBclassical]

You are very lucky!

[Getawaymoments]

crazy

[viewofeverlast]

That's quite a whipper you took there! A runout traverse on a slab... you're a brave man.

[vgjj777]

holy crap- that's really scary

[GoProCamera]

Wow, that was a pretty wild ride!

[BlodsgardOfficial]

That was freakn intense man! Got my palms sweaty for suuure!

[tdawgmoneymoney7]

That got my blood pumping! I like the thumbs up before checking on all the limbs, I guess it was an "I'm concious" thumbs up. Did you finish the lead w/ the bloddied pads?

[pickupstix99]

Wow. That's quite a fall. Thanks for sharing

[nmonteith]

Wow! A great piece of footage. Reminds me of why I hate slabs. Your foot must have caught on an edge near the bottom and flipped you upside down I presume? Glad you're ok mate!

[kenitzka10]

how far a drop!? It looks like you fell for nearly 4 seconds... 80 meters???

[genericusername124]

@kenitzka10 Not quite—the angle of the wall is a little less than 90 degrees so there is a lot of friction between me and the rock. It's also a pendulum, so the fall isn't perfectly vertical, it's more of a swinging fall with horizontal movement as well.
