Belayer passed out while lead climbing 21-Jul-2016 At 12:20:48 PM E. Wells

Very.
Last weekend I had the honour of making second ascent (toprope cleaning) of a bottomless roof bodyjam chimney that involves climbing a horizontal figtree to establish suitably stuck ribcage. It is a magnificent addition to Nowra at grade 17-18 between the greasecaves at Thompsons.

While being stuck, stationary, and trying not to panic approx 10m above my belayer (the first ascentionist), I heard a crashing sound and looked down to see him on the ground holding his head. Nothing seemed to have been dislodged up where I was and it was all a bit confusing however retrospectively I think the horizontal figtree behind my shoulders may have moved away from the chimney wall enough to send debris nestled between them down. Anyhow , he recieved a rock to the eye as he was gazing straight up in amazement at my gracefull problem solving.

All I had to do was inhale and I wasnt going anywhere however falling might result in grazing bothsides of my head not to mention a dead weight 'softcatch' (he had a grigri) which would leave me hanging in mid air.
Not ideal.
I was about to find a way to reach back and go in hard to a hanger but he collected himself up and all was well. A visit to Nowra hospital didnt seem to solve the issue and I can only hope he is well. ( If you read this Jarrah let me know how your doing!)

After reading this article I like the option of a single strand rap with munter on opposed snappies (thats all I would have had).

P.S the route is actually quite unique though as yet undocumented. FigJam , Gr 17/18 , sport. Bottomless chimney to join arette/wall left of Grease Cave. The grade makes sense afterwards when you realised you didnt use many muscles , just a desire to live.
