What do you look like?

[Jihadjoe]

I had one incident where I dropped about 45 feet from an overhang, and stopped about 15 feet from the ground.

I turned a very odd shade of green and went to vomit quitely off in the distance. Put me off climbing for about two years... Oddly enough it happened just to the right of the photo I have posted.

I was leading that climb, which means you put the gear in the rockface which hold the rope. I was pulling through rope to attach to the peice of gear I had just placed when I fell, my right arm just lost grip...

The two peices of gear I had placed beneath it failed (or the rock did) and I was lucky not to die...

So yeh, its not without its danger.
