This was my buddy's project for a while. On his 2nd to last go, he was too pumped near the top and decided to skip placing his last piece. His foot slipped on some gravel on the sloping topout and he whipped. When I caught him, we were close enough to high five (I got pulled up a few feet, he wasn't close to hitting the ground) He sent it next go. Definitely the largest whip I've ever caught. There were two newer climbers on the 5.9 next door and they looked fucking terrified lmao.
Most climbing areas in the US and Canada these days encourage lowering rather than rapping. Looks like there were carabiners on the chains for that exact purpose.

How often do you test gear like that? You might end up with some stitches or staples, no?
He’s literally standing on the ground
Sick Line!

Your belayer not wearing a helmet? Tsk tsk.
what's the ethic there, would be pretty frowned upon to lower off the chains rather than rap.
