What's it like to fall 40 feet down a sheer cliff face, while dangling from a rope hundreds of feet from the ground? Emory mathematician Skip Garibaldi describes his rock climbing experiences on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. He also explains some basic climbing math, such as the fall factor, used to reduce the risk of injury during a rope climb.

So, if I'm getting this right, the entire math content of the video was "here's a ratio" with no mention of the physics/math behind why higher FF=>worse fall? Disappointing.

He used "golf" and "skill" in the same sentence. Good "lol", good "lol".
