Two friends of mine climbing at Buffalo. Unfortunately on double ropes borrowed from me. It's windy, and friend A is well out of sight of friend B. He's finding things a bit hard going and decides to clip into a piece and take a rest. The wind is making communication a wee bit hard.

Friend A: Take
Friend B: Really? So soon?
Friend A: TAKE!
Friend B: You sure you're safe?
Friend A: Yes. TAKE!!!
Friend B. Okay then. You're off belay.

Friend A slumps onto the rope and goes wheeeeeeeee off down the cliff. Some cuts and scrapes, but he managed to avoid hitting anything substantial. My ropes were not so fortunate with big long scorch marks where the ropes had run through the superheated top biner. Coulda been a *lot* worse.
