Not a whipper, just a deck.
heeheehee....
But a fully-photographed decking, with a happy ending, surely beats a whipper, no?

Looked like a whipper-decking combo. Also looked like your belayer deserves a gold star for getting in the foot or two of slack that kept if from being a solid head-opening decking.
Amazing photos. (Though w/o the last one, I couldn't look at them!) Are they stills from a video?

Are you at home? I thought I saw Jays truck at ranger rock this afternoon.
Why did the piece break?

Howdy, Werner. Yep, I'm in Berkeley and J is in your neck of the woods, hopefully having a great day outside. (That's why I was playing online so late last night too. ;-)

I thought the deal was that the gear was too small for the crack. Hey burns that guy looks like Whit.

Splitter 4 cam design, which are now the bottom 5 of the trango flexcam set. That looks like Mal's shorty trigger, but I don't remember what the original splitter triggers look like.
Cam looks way small, and snapped trigger wires would seem to indicate same. I saw the pics thread on rc.com, was there an analysis later?
