A whipper is when your belay tries to take in a heap of rope when you are falling resulting in you being catapulted into the rock where the snapping of your ankles resembles the sound of a whip being cracked. I had what felt like a reasonably large fall from the top of the first pitch of Excalibur at Mt Piddington (Blue Mountains) onto a blindly placed (as an afterthought) 00 HB cam. In reality it was probably only about 3 or 4 metres at best. But felt a long way at the time, long enough to make me squeal like a little bitch.
