Carabiner UNCLIPS · Massive Fall Ensues

I would suspect a cross-clipped carabiner on the second piece, but it looks plumb so it shouldn’t have mattered, plus this guy is trying to redpoint a 5.12... he’s therefore quite experienced and would know about that error. I think putting o-rings on the rope end of his quickdraws might have helped with orientation (I know rubberbands were mention in the description, but they look trashy and often aren’t as durable).

Got to properly size o-ring, but basically put the o-ring on the biner, twist once, put the dogbone on and through the o-ring loop, twist once more and finally clip it into the biner and orientate everything. It should be quite tight.

Lucky he didn't have to pass up a sandwich

Alex Hannold makes it look pretty easy

What where's the splat at

is it weird that i literally never feel bad for these people?

This is why I only boulder. Indoors.

And that's why i staymy ass on the couch. Wooord

Is that a dude?

"are you ok dude". " Yeah ...but my pants aren't....."

Bet he won't cheap out on Temu carabiners now.

WOW THAT WAS A RIDE

Chalk doesn’t work use superglue

Ouchhhh 😮

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

that would be my first and last climb…

Nice wilhelm cover. I like how you made it your own instead of trying to impersonate it exactly.

Unless yuou, whoever posted, actually saw the gear after the fall I'd say a micro jam / nut pulled out as I didnt see a krabet go ... just my 2 cents

Don’t backclip kids…

This morning I got a spoon out of the kitchen drawer to stir my coffee, and accidentally dropped it.
I reached down to pick it up and hit my head on the edge of the counter.
I really wish I was wearing a climbing helmet.

A new sport skydiving combined with rock climbing....glad all is well.

I stubbed my toe on my coffee table this morning so I know exactly how this guy feels

Just think there's crazy people who do this stuff with no gear at all.

Do better next time, perhaps?

I can confirm that this has never happened to me as someone who doesn't climb

Lame ass hobby

"This is the one thing we didn't want to happen."

Now I know what activity not to take up in the short life I have on this planet.

Gravity is usually not you friend

To place your life on a tiny aluminum gadget placed in the rocks is absolute stupidity

I'm glad I have a fear of heights.

How did the other guy stop him?

I had to pause it so i didnt have a heart attack

Is the guy dead

I guess this is the reverse of a SCUBA divers fear of suddenly falling up.

this is called extreme sport for a reason

Awesome ! Lol

Nice peaceful climb by the highway

I'm not a climber, but am I correct in thinking that if the 2nd dude didn't happen to stop the body of the 1st dude by random luck, that the 1st dude would have fallen to his death?

😂

I'll never understand the fascination with this sport. Not an insult to those who enjoy it, it's just not for me.

For some reason climbing has never appealed to me.

What a useless way to risk one's life.

I feel sorry for the guy below him….

I think I would have needed a change of underwear

Friends will be friends until the end. Great he got your back! Wink wink.

OK yeah I think I'll just keep not doing that.

There is no reason I'm the world we can't make climbing safer. Such long EFFING run-outs are dangerous and unnecessary. A bolt or two saves lives. Put your bullshit ethics and egos aside

They need to clip that sound for a movie

That scream of pure fear
