Matt- reading the comments under that potter vid were painful. How can people be sooo stupid, and talk out of their ass like they know soooo much, and they don't even have clue 1. So entertaining!

Yep, that's we do it Martin, no doubt ....

After a long critical debrief and analysis watching silly-vester Stallone's major fuk-up we now lower the rescuer and remind him to tell the victim to kindly remove their gloves before .....

Actually it is as risky as everyone thinks and most injuries are caused by thinking that Gravity disappears and that it'll be "Impossible to fall and hit the ground" Gear is only as good as the climber who places it be it WC Zero's or an oldschool Malleable Piton

OMG !!! did he die?? and for those dumb arses that like to think they know about climbing, it was his left foot that lost slipped due to the angle he gave it. it didnt so much hold the guys' weight but held him in posistion. idiots. he would be lukcy to walk away from this fall with only major fractures

No dude! That's means you haven't conquered the rock man! Get amped and take no prisoners man! And a couple 'Muscle Triplecator' energy bars for sure! I totally spanked the 5.11. I'm gonna get agro on this wicked 8.11 tomorrow! Then probably do one of the chicks who's watchin'! You might understand someday.. RAD!!

Got me to think what makes one a climber. Here's one. Climbers with mileage talk about the routes they peeled on while recreating the route with their hands showing you half pad mono into a gaston. Young bucks spray about topropes they nailed.
Didn't Dan have a Masters in Physics or somethin? Respect the 'chock'. lol. Peas.

Good point. 'Factoring' of the fall is supremcdubra important for pro. I've never had one a those big 'zippers', and don't care to. lol.
Isn't the second rule in trad like first? Something to do with 'don't fall'.
Peas!

It's been my experience that a hard brake sets pro better (if you don't mind spending 5 minutes with the chock pick digging it out). A soft brake can give pro (especially cams) time to "walk".

News Flash - Dean Potter wouldn't have fallen - nothing scary about a vert fall onto well placed gear - very clean crack, very clean fall....

I always wondered; why didn't Stallone use his other hand too? He was clipped in after all. Maybe feeling a little shaky out there with all that exposure, couldn't quite bring himself to let go. ha
