First upside down whipper.... not too cool! 16-Oct-2010 At 10:11:51 PM ClimbingNT

Have not done an upside down whipper....and really hope that I never do.

Ended up on a big whipper today due to a hold breaking underfoot.
Collected my thoughts, psyched myself up again, and got back up and to the same point fairly quickly....only for the pinch I reached for breaking off and I ended up decking the ground with a pretty heavy fall on my left arm. Took me a bit to figure out what happened, as I was certain that I didn't peel. Whilst assessing the damage sustained did I realise I still had the pinch in my hand, and was a perfect match to the newly marked area on the rock from where it once came.

That was enough for me to throw in the towel on the 24, and stuck to a few other climbs for the rest of the day. Pretty unlucky to have one hold break during a weekend out, let alone 2 on the one climb!

After the events that unfolded today, I would have to say that an upside down whipper would really give me the jeebies!
