Wow

Had to be a scary feeling, eh?

Re: Wow

:) I think the screamer looks worse than the fall was. It was short (~15 feet) - would've thought the screamer would not start ripping.

damn...

you are 6'5", I read you saying that on Crimson and thought that was a joke on your part Radek? Shirley and you must climb completely different lines. What did you have the screamer in on? What was your analysis of its performance?

Re: damn...

Dow,
I had the screamer on a #0.75 camalot in a horizontal crack that you cross on your way up Ewetopian crack. A sheet of rock (10"X10") just gave out next to the crack where I had my #5 offset. I think the screamer worked though I'm surprised it actually opened given the shortness of the fall (~15')...must've been my heavy ass and the big rack I was carrying :)

Affirmative on climbing different routes. I'm 6'7" & Shirley's 5'4" :)
