Eric is belaying John on Chingadera at Tahquitz.

John slips about 2 feet from a bolt expecting a tight little fall. But Eric who was sitting on the ground had chosen that moment to take a swig of water and didn't have his hands on the hip belay rope.

The rope starts wizzing around Eric who drops the bottle and grabs the rope but now it not a belay anymore but a head first pull through the scrub. The scrub and holding hard to the rope by Eric eventually stopped everyone.
