RE: Prevention of Injury for Climbers
Good write-up -- especially:
Never run headlong into a trad or sport lead without having a good idea of what's going to happen up there; it could be your life!
Understanding what's underneath you when you're on the sharp end is CRITICAL. Just because you've clipped into some pro doesn't mean you're 100% safe. A 1~2m drop onto a small ledge below you, even though you're 20m off the ground can still break your heel and ruin your summer....
Right, @somebuttstuff?
Yea exactly, that rope might keep you from decking but everything in between you and the floor is still gonna hurt! Thanks for reading brother.
