ages ago on a multipitch climb, i walked across a thin ledge, put in a pink tricam on what i thought was a big flake about chest level and continued over and up. my second, a guy about 210 cm, 90 kgs, was cleaning, yarded hard on the tricam and dislodged the cardoor size block (it was just sitting on the thin ledge, i guess; i didn't pull that hard on it placing the gear) and shouted manically to the climbers on the ground. no injuries thank gods, but big, heavy people should really just leave well enough alone ))))) |
