One time I was soloing up the corner at Colosseum Wall to set some ropes. I had two ropes on my back and I was bare foot. It was hot. Half way up I was greasing up and went to chalk. My bracelet caught in the throat of my chalk bag. No biggy I thought and tried to pull it out but it didn't come. My other hand was sliding out of it's jam. I looked down at my two clients and thought, sht, i'm going to die in front of them. I gave another sharp tug, nothing. And then my friend ian walked around the corner. And I though, sht, I'm going to die in front of him as well, and then just before the jam cut loose I gave a huge pull and ripped the throat out of the chalk bag and stuck my fist, nylon throat, and bracelet in the crack. Lucky.
