Is 'exsorb' a word? Maybe it's a word that only experts use.

@Merumountain You're not supposed to take the belayer off the ground? You, sir, are either lying about how long you've been climbing, or you have been climbing the wrong way for 14 years. You take the belayer off the ground from your weight of the fall. The only way to stop this is to use a daisy chain (climbing term, you might not know what that is) to anchor yourself to the ground, and you DON'T want to use that while leading because it will make your fall HURT. BAD.

@fmead99 It is not profesional prefference, or style, or anyting lke that.

what you see here is CRAP. pure ans siple.

Climber took a 4 inch fall from a draw at his waist, and fell 6 feet, onto a blayer using TERRIBLE technique. Comfort, come with framiliarity. Framiliarise yourself with doing it right. then you will become not only comfortable, but COMPETANT.

LEARN HOW TO FALL ahahahaha

I hate to troll, but you woudl think you could have taken a real lead fall?

0:25 Where is your draw? How far should you have fallen?

you would not have fallen at all, if your belayer had not given you 6 feet of slack.

Afraid of going splat on a vertical wall? Seriusly, you should have at least taken a small lead fall.

You should feel shame.

Never grap ANYTHING when you fall

rope grabber, you should feel shame.

@Merumountain The belayer coming off the ground is a correct technique, usually used when the belayer is lighter. Its called a "Dynamic Belay".

[wankel7]

He was 2 or 3 clips up. There is very little rope drag. He fell at least 6 feet. Of course the belayer is coming off the ground. Never grab the rope. If you take a large fall with your handson the rope...your hand could smash into your face.

@Merumountain i go to a indoor rock climbing gym but you can hold you hands on the rope

[Digdigs2]

A little hop by the belayer is cool - but the leader should NOT GRAB THE ROPE!!! A quote from thebmc.co.uk "If the climber ... immediately grab the rope above the knot on his harness to stabilise his fall in an upright position, .. rope may tangle or loop around the climber’s hand or fingers before he is able to grab this rope with both hands; and at the moment of impact when this rope tightens, it may cause...finger cut off by tightening of looped rope around it."
