climbing - incredibly fall at the end, watch it out!!

[54114142]

so what? ^^

[mwoodall13]

chalk smilie at 1:38 or 1:39

[yournightlight]

was this made in the 80s?

[MrLyckegard]

Bent arm clipping, clipping high above his head, not twisting his body dispite the overhang. This looks like a very strong 6a climber doing a 6c climb.

[SirMisterD]

the music really matches. the slow mo is awesome.

[JayT017]

Nice climbing but the title was misleading. Honestly I was hoping for a knarlier fall. I've taken a ground fall probably about as far as that whipper. No offense to any flatlanders, but gym climbing just isn't the same.

[yodadude88]

i probably would have shit my pants if i fell from that high

[bikeboy088]

it def wasnt a fall, but it was pretty sweet. It was more like a quickly controlled descent.

[OlliHolliCa]

You see him unclip ne of his runners as he moves past it, its just after he chalks up the fall was definately set up.

[bxrockstar]

well he fell far due to second to last clip failing...watch carefully. nothing with the belay or rope peoples.

[JacobFactingJohnson]

@bxrockstar He didn't clip it. He skipped the clip on purpose and took what looks to be a fairly staged whipper. Perfectly safe that high up, and it makes a solid fall for the YouTubes.

[ClCy0n]

if you really are an experianced climber you would've used smaller grips...

[wetter89]

smaller ain't always harder... big and flat ones can be a bitch too... but your right, theese ones looks kinda easy

[LordMetzen]

what if hes just doing training or warming up for harder routes?...some ppl go indoors to practice or do some bouldering

[azhum]

first of all- super lame music. Im pretty sure the fall was set up or on purpose. If it wasn't then he probably fell that far because the rope he uses is so thin. Small diameter ropes like that slide through the belay device really quickly and can sometimes take a sec to stop.. and that rope is tiny.

[badmattam]

i've just started climbing and take it from me there are lots of experienced climbers who ,like this guy here, make it look so easy.trust me,it's a lot harder than it looks.great fun though!! . . .thanks for sharing.

[jackyhowey]

why did he fall so far? bad belaying? surely if one clip was faulty then the next would have caught him, looks to me that the belayer wasnt holding him

[Peasley1]

Yea, his climbing technique is fine but he looked like he was going out of his way to strike "cool" poses just to clip....hanging from one arm and clipping is how I clip all my bolts......Also did he backclip his last bolt or something because the QD that caught him was one on the overhang but he definately clipped a bolt after that (2:35ish) and it definately isn't the QD that caught him.

[ivarma]

Itt looks like he clippe the one QD above the overhang faulty. He reaches up over his foot, and the rope goes from the outside to the inside, so this probably unclipped when he fell

[hockey9678]

sorry a clip he over extended to reach a clip

[hockey9678]

The only problem i have with the way he climbs is a couple of times at least to me looked like he over extended his arm to reach a climb and there are better of ways of handling that roof but other wise i think it was good technique

[nordichorn]

Please folks, If you don't know then don't comment. He has great technique, he's going skeletal to conserve energy. This route is overhanging-quite a bit. And there isn't a lot of rock to choose from Ashlee 0314, it's a route with designated holds to use. The one arm clip comment....???. How many hands does it take you to clip?. Comments are cool, but to see so many way out of line, its a little sad.

[mbm13213]

I like to climb my girlfriends tits

[duckpk10]

most epic wedgie ever

[arsenalfoxio]

wow he has terrible technique. he locks off everything, even huge jugs.

[gerardo231]

like what grade is he climbing?

[27071987]

one armed clipping for the camera.. what a poser.. not a good climber at all.

[calidrew14]

comin over the flake was beast bravo

[bricardiff1969]

ha ha dan osman,,

[ashlee0314]

easy route,lots of stone to choose

[joefoxkid]

God his belayer sucks

[carpenteroak]

Seemed like alot of slack on that rope.

[hydr5]

one arm hangs like its your day job

[Powerstroke319]

Nice controlled climb!! Kudos!!!

[mattmirage]

skill's bro!

[qix1t]

that looks like a great climb. And a greater climber too

[apelikemenace]

SO I can only assume everytime the footage cuts that he either hangs, or falls...

Thats nine times by my once-over count!

Plus what type of poopy route setting would let a climber take a whipper like that in a gym!?!?!?!

[PeaSoup174]

i could be wrong but it sort of looks like he skipped a clip and lunged for the finish

if thats true its not really the route setters fault..

haha but that is a whipper

[TEXAS77721]

LOL U MEAN CHEK IT OUT.

[Jakelol1980]

This is a nice lead climb (calm and controled), it look like this guy can do alot harder routes.

[andrewjameshill2003]

i agree they r talking shit... some good leading here to start with nice one dude u go for it...

[afkololol]

I wonder why such a high proportion of the people commenting on youtube videos are talking shit and generally being total cocks?

[driftingdynamic]

Cause 90% of people in this world have not guts to speak up in real life, so they get on here and act like bad asses. It's so sad... I know. They need a life!

[blueballoon110]

@driftingdynamic then why are you even bothering as well to posting a comment......??????

[outie131]

this vid was not bad... one: he didnt clip into every quick, two, that was a victory whipper, three, he self unclipped the last few (edited out, you can clearly see at the slow mo that the rope is still loose, so he didnt climb in wrong and they didnt fail, he unclipped them) four, the belayer did do a good job cause he put him down on a vertical part of the wall f

[easyesteezy]

terrible video. go climb some real rock. do they have the bolts close enough or what

?

[smeghead666]

looks like a pleasant lil 6c right there, mebbe even 7a? doubtful though

Nice climbing through, bad technique at the lip but if you can do it then why not, problem is you fell, so you cant :P

Bad belaying, should never take a fall like that, outdoors, you'd be screwed

[jason21jburg]

maybe 7a god u must think ur climbing 9a if u eber get near a 7a

[BRADARISTA]

it looked like he jumped

[rarbiart]

Wo kam denn bitte so viel Seil her? So teuer ist ein Grigri nun auch nicht.

[brodski1]

i've never done lead climbing before it looks fun :D

[kelvartis]

regaurdless, he's a lame gym climber that hangs by 1 arm to clip instead of takine footholds and showing good technique.  It's some lame ass promo.

[SummitWind]

Why the heck are so many of you saying he backclipped? He didn't backclip any of the draws. The last draw he clipped was the one just under the lip, and we can see quite clearly that it hled the rope during the fall, just like all the other draws. He took a victory whip.

[pdxmirage]

actually at 2:35 you can clearly see that he clips in above the lip. I don't think he backclipped I think they just edited the video for a big fall.

[miotchthebiotch]

Don't think he clipped anywhere after the overhanging lip.

[kerethan]

The fuck, either he black clipped or left him self with a huge runout.

[freakyclimber]

may 6c ?

[jason21jburg]

no 6a max

[treeboy112]

haha lead climbing is funer than top ropeing

[NgatiPakiha]

victory whipping is stupid. All it does is puts kinks in your rope that means you need to retire it years before you would do if you looked after your rope properly.

[somegi9]

but its so fun!!!

[boxsterwelby]

yeah, but, I will pay for a new rope every year if it means I get to victory off of big scends.

[NgatiPakiha]

belayer was fine. Climber back clipped the last 2 clips, and so when he fell, both of them came out. There are 2 draws on the last face that he clipped. So, good belayer, bad climbing technique.

[wesmess111]

okay he is either victory whipping or has the worst belayer ever

[Seekery1]

did he skip a clip at the end??

[ccrgali]

that's fun

[davervr6]

he was like 4 feet above the last draw and whipped this hard, poor form. Cool climb and gym though.

[Eru116]

that's nothin mate ;)

[chowking02]

that was intentional?

[jason21jburg]

it swings and roundabouts with dymaic bellaying depends hoow long you want ur rope to last for. no punintended there.

Also that is such a badly put together

[lightthatblinds]

It's everything John Sherman is against in a single video.

Sport climbing + indoor climbing.

[PMAN46]

cool, accept he did it on perpose

[meku2010]

That belayer sucks big time! She should be shot for doing that... There is no point of doing dynamic belay since all the protection on the wall are bombers. Situation might be different on trad route with iffy protection or on ice (especially if rotten) or in snow. There is a reason why we clime with dynamic ropes... I hope the belayer got nice big burn marks on her hands for pulling stuff like that.

[cjdrover]

meku2010 -

Dynamic belay needed due to overhang, to prevent swinging in and smacking the wall.

[meku2010]

Actually, when you look at it carefully you see that the last TWO quickdraws fail! OK, I get that one quickdraw might fail but two?!?!?

Anyway, there is no point doing that dynamic belay. There is no way he would've been smacked on the wall even if the quickdraws hadn't failed.

[climbmac]

they didn't fail. gear doesn't fail that way. i have seen gear fail. they were unclipped to take a victory whip

[sydneydoc]

Yes it does look like self-unclipping ...

[jclayn1]

who gives a shit. falling off plywood with a foot of padding on the floor is not scary.indoor climbing sucks ass!

[bradsaweakcunt]

didnt deck so who cares,good job buddy just gotta stick that last move and shill b all sweat

[Rossco83]

Good job by belayer. One stopped him smashing his face and two took the shock out of the fall by letting out some extra rope. I think some people need to read up a bit more about belaying. Also hope you all took into account rope stretch

[climber105]

what grade i rekon 6c+ at most

[ChradidInc]

belayer sux

[BRgoalie]

maybe the belayer should take in some slack and pay attention.

[papasmurfuk76]

looking at it he fell so far as he missed at least 1 clip above the overhang, the belayer can only hold him at his last clip so if thats 8ft below hes gonna get a 16ft drop. the wall looks really good though.

[Daventrev]

is it just me, or should his belayer should be shot for that!

[magister1306]

gj man...and nice fall:DD

[mnutt12]

Right on, cheamclimber.

[CRTvideos]

holly shit he almost hit the ground

[climberrhys]

man nice climbing.

BTW guys im a climber and i climb v4/5 and ive done v6.

i dont really like outdors tbh ima wimp but i have done E1 5C in wales.

I lead indoors 7a+ and i got really close to a 7b at the end of a days climbing.

Have any of you ebtered BRITISH competitions

[guitaristdf]

why do they fall so far?? that looks like a hell of a good time tho

[mats098]

Lets be fair though good effort to the climber in the video the route doesn't look to hard but then neither does rhapsody at Dumby Rock but i' like too see you climbjak7 do it. The fact you can climb V4-5 is great but come on it just comes down to you both mouthing off where no one can smack you.

Mat

p.s. i have climbed f7b+ onsight and f8a redpoint both outdoors and done some hard trad routes upto E5

p.p.s If you dont understand the grades i speak of its cos im English

[climbjak7]

and that fall was oretty cool but my friend didnt clip in the alst 2 clips and jumped off from the top and skimmed the ground.. all on purpos tho lol

[climbjak7]

i climb, im only 13 but for people that actually know grades im a solid 5.12 climber for routs and V4-V5 for bouldering. That climb didnt look that hard, it didnt look like 5.12+, corre4ct me if im wrong tho but dont yell at me

[cheamclimber]

You sound like one of those gym climber kids that are '5.12 climbers' that will cry on a real 5.9 trad route. I dont mean to be rude but I was like that once. I climbed 5.13- indoors and got scared on a 5.10a outside .Now im 15 and have led 13 pitch 5.10s and r/x rated routes and consider myself a much better climber than I used to be even if I find low 12's hard now... I'm not trying to offend you but you should get out and become a more well rounded climber before you brag about clibming 5.12

[KamiKaziChicken]

Yeah, its so much harder outside.

I can do a french 6c indoors (english 5c/6a), but fell on a VS outdoors which was about 4b english.

[climbjak7]

@cheamclimber k really late response, and i hear what your saying, im 15 now lol... wow i havnt checked my shit in a while. but outdoor climbs are a lot harder, i get that. and i wasnt trying to brag, i was stating i knew what i was talking about, i wasnt some little kid who looks at climbing videos. and no i wouldnt cry on a 5.9 trad thank you very much. plus i prefer bouldering. i climb v6's and v7's now, sometimes v8's. and i climb a bit lower outside, everyone knows its harder outside dude..

[cheamclimber]

Outdoors isnt harder, its just the real thing. I boulder V10 outdoors but not indoors, its just what your used to. Now stop spraying about grades and go climbing...

[climbjak7]

@cheamclimber yea i hear you, nice V10 btw, watched that vid..

[jovino]

that's interesting... either you faked the fall or you back-clipped and it came undone.

[jac4941]

i thought it might have been back-clipping too, but i looked again and didn't see the rope drop out of pro- i'm thinking it's an un-attentive belayer?

[drogoth25]

that wasnt even a hard wall!

[zjerna]

yeah drogoth 25 you're like superman and you just jump so high that you don't even have to climb have a little respect for peoples work and don't say every time you have that you can do that you are that etc...

[Jack63815]

it looks hard enough.

[albertiam]

hey what song was that anyways?

good climbing!

[monkeymaniac27]

sucks, that fall was fake, if anyone wants to watch real skill, then watch some yamakasi.

[gonzo1275]

You're an idiot. Of course it was fake. Climbing and what you're talking about (yamakasi) are two completely different things. Besides, I'm sure you can't do either of those things...so stfu.

[shark54545]

ekspresy poszly czy co?

[tambouvier]

No, to chyba spacjalnie spadl ...

[pacohtrad]

soooo 80's with the music and the lame climbing with staged fall.. is that Germany? How about showing what's really cookin' in Germany? Huber brothers etc

[zeffat]

its in vienna, Austria ive been there its a fucken good as climbing hall

[pacohtrad]

Right on zeffat!!! Keep climbing till the arms fall off!!! Cheers mate..

[matt10990]

Imagine if that was a static rope, like in the olden days!!

[Kratos1845]

Nice when you did that clicking point with one hand :)

[simo66665]

its very danger when any child saw that

[AKRockSnowIce]

good climbing!

[mikitric]

It doesnt look like a far fall, but when you're free falling its a weird sensation, flare.

[eastvailchutes]

"Watch it out?"

Mehr lernen.

[Carpbag]

lol at him clipping without feet on the wall. That was an impressive climb, but didn't he clip the one after the overhang? Did it fail or something?

[stzzo]

No, I think he unclipped it. Watch when they cut to the other camera after he clipped that one. He pulls himself toward the wall with one hand and fiddles with the other hand.  It looks like he's holding on to that draw and unclipping it.

[KamiKaziChicken]

Why didn't you clip the last (3?) quickdraws? Well at least you got to see how dynamic the rope was =p

Flare and leo, that's a tall wall. If you call that fall nothing, the next step is decking and dying in the process. How many 40+ foot falls have you taken?

[OlliHolliCa]

tht looks like such a gd wall, groovy fall

[flare243000]

wow thats nothing

[leomonci]

that´s nothing man

[lukenn]

great climbing! but what happened with the fall?? did he just slip off the wall?
