[Falling Down]

I pulled off the starting jug/crimp on Megatron Turbo at Stoney about ten years ago & then glued it back on I think Fatboy Slimfast then pulled it off again or that could just be idle slander.... Some of the glued on bits are are still in place

Whilst top roping what might one day be a new route at Craig Pen Gogarth I pulled a ledge sized ledge off the bottom and with it clutched to my stomach I swung backwards onto a boulder below. I've not been back to try the route again.

just remembered another.i bust a big lump of the top of close encounters in northunberland.i had my hands on the top of the crag and turned round to tell my mate what a great route it was,when the break i was stood on broke.i got to tell him the above while looking in to his eyes,although upside down.

Also remembered another. Pulled a finger jug off below the first bolt on 'Might and Main' (the right arete of 'empire of the sun' wall at Anstys).Rolled down the scree slope through a v thorny bush and cut me head. Richie P checked i wasn't dead before heading back to  the car to fetch his fags (priorities eh?)

Damn, I forgot, I've got a pretty class one...

Copy'n'pasted from the NZ climbing site http://www.mojozone.co.nz ...

Yesterday morning I knocked a large "plate" ledge off just above the second bolt on Twisting By The Pool 19 ** on the RH Sin City wall at Duntroon. The ledge, about 2' long and 6" wide just snapped off when I was rocking over onto it which was quite a surprise. The 2nd bolt threaded with a home-made cord gizmo held, but when my girl abseiled down she found it was loose and seemed to be held in place by woodlice... The route is probably a little harder (20 maybe) but personally I'd be quite wary of these soft limestone routes on detachable holds with spaced wobbly bolts  

Note to self: Do not grab the other rope whilst hurtling through space. Friction burns on 3 fingers are not fun.


Was a bloody shock I tell you  :shock:

Not personally involved, but a mate was. I'm glad I wasn't the person standing in bottom left hand corner.
