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

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

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.

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

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.

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

this guy is amazing, I went to a talk by him and he showed us that clip
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.
