The LAST thing you want to happen climbing 700 feet up 😲 #climbing

Flake popped while climbing Romulan Warbird in Yosemite national park

It blows my mind that people do this without ropes. All it takes is one loose Stone

Who’s using a leaf blower that high up

Climbing shoes are supposed to be small and they squish your feet. Climbing in them for awhile can make your feet hurt so climbers take their shoes off to give their feet a break.

Things like this make you realise even more just how crazy Alex Honnold’s free solo climb of El Capitan was.

Thats why whenever im planning to climb to 700 feet i make 100% sure to stop at the 10 foot mark and turn around, no thanks.

Meanwhile chainsaw massacre down at the bottom getting excited for prey to fall 💀😭🦴

The most intersting thing about this clip is the belayer's hand getting sucked into the first piece of gear and then the first piece of gear getting sucked into the Grigri, that can 'defeat' the grigri. Luckily nothing happened.

The route setters really need to screw the holds in better!

[maxjenkins]

for anyone who doesnt know what happened, the grigiri got pulled into the first piece and uncammed itself. there are 2 things you can do to avoid this:
1 have a hand on the rope behind your back with the rope to catch it and use like an atc for the first lil bit
2 once the next piece is clipped, you can undo the draw going through the anchor

stay safe out there :)

Dude damn near lost a finger 🤘. Note to self: When buddy falls... Don't grab the rope as its sliding through caribineer. 😂

[nichtsistkostenlos]

This is why free soloing is crazy. Doesn't matter how good you are, the rock can decide you're done at any minute.

When the grigri hit the biner my heart skipped a few beats. 😱

Ok, rock climber here. For all the bozos saying rock climbers are stupid, yes this isn’t ideal but the belayer caught the fall. This is multi-pitch climbing for all the people saying that he needs to have a rope for safety he does, in the first quick draw which has a personal anchor attached until you start climbing. Yes the belayer is barefoot, you don’t need shoes to belay it’s more comfortable to not however this is not in a gym so I would recommend shoes so he can be dynamic and jump on the cliff when taking or catching a fall. And lastly this is lead climbing, meaning that there is no rope that goes to the top than back down to the climber, the belayer gives slack as the climber clips him/her self into quick draws, so you expect a short fall before the slack gets used up and the belayer catches you.

This man almost got his hand crushed by the atc and the carabiner

[gannonw]

Anybody else see the belayers left hand could have ended up very bad?

[Stay-vigilant]

Many years ago as a dumb teenager this happened to me on an ocean side cliff. Wasn't using any equipment. Rock broke off in my hand and I felt like Wile E. Coyote. Had to push off the wall while falling to clear the rocks 30ft below. I landed safely but was scraped up and bleeding. I'm lucky to be alive. I don't climb anything these days other than ladders or coconut trees 🤙

[mikenery]

That rush of adrenaline must've been god level

[calzskilz]

The guy holding the rope almost had a SERIOUS injury with that carabiner

[aus]

guy with the camera almost lost a few fingers there
