Trad Climbing Accident - 1m X 1m X 2m Rock Fall	14-Jun-2013 At 11:06:43 PM	Jakob
Message
There's a section of a 'The Nose' on El Cap that is called the 'Bootleg Flake'. I have read it described as a section of rock that doesn't seem to be attached at all? People aid up it all the time. Apparently when first climbed with nuts it ground under body weight during aid. I am wondering if anyone has ever taken a leader fall on it with a cam and had that 5-6 times fall force expansion outwards? I am a lot more careful now with cam placements, especially when they are parrallel with the cliffline.
