I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.



The story here. Warning, dude was ok but there's a couple of gruesome images.

I've done a little climbing in my youth, and there've been a few times I've wondered what would happen if the chunk I was putting my entire weight on came off.

  1. Did that, sort of, once at the top of a chimney at Smith Rocks. I managed to hold on to it so my belayer at the bottom of the chimney could get out of the way before letting it fall. About a 200 lb. chunk of rock.
