Neil Mawson fell off the slap move on Meshuga today. The good news is i got it on camera, oh yeah and he's alright too, nothing more than a bruised shitter. He did it with an Alien in a pocket by the jug, this was sposed to lower the grade to E8 but since it came out its seems he took the e9 fall.

Jeez :shock: ! I saw Neil at wall last night and he said he was off the Black Rocks. Didn't realize he was going for the big one. Can't have helped having totally skinned tips, from X days on.

yeah was pretty lucky, i was belaying, he did the route loads of times on a rope, then just got unlucky on the totally blind 'luck' heel placement, fell, ripped the cam, bounced on the slab beside me and went head over tits down the rocks/grass, at least 45 foot in total. wouldnt want to do that one on your own at the crag.

LUCKY AS FUCK

clm · December 14, 2005, 05:25:52 pm

wow!! you get higher grades if your gear rips???
You get a higher grade if you place less gear on a route??

Brilliant!!

E7 here we come...

Does it only work if you fall off?

i'm still waiting for footage of widdop wall, it sounds sick!

unlucky, however very lucky

dom · December 14, 2005, 07:49:27 pm

fuck that must have been a big fall! Lucky to walk away from that!

Doylo, are you planning on releasing the footage to the general public at any point. and Boux8c on Action Direct??

Fiend · December 14, 2005, 08:16:51 pm

"Man fails to headpoint route" SHOCKER :wink:

Good effort managing to walk away from that, fuck knows how these bouncy people do it :?

cofe · December 15, 2005, 09:28:40 am

er dunno and dunno. I'm sure you'll get to see them at some point :wink:

LongMonkey · December 25, 2005, 09:57:15 pm

It's given E9 6c isn't it? How many people have come off it now? 2 or 3? With nothing more than bruises and maybe a concusion. All very unpleasant but considering this do you think that is worthy of E9 anymore? Maybe it needs down grading.

Doylo · December 27, 2005, 08:22:50 pm

no ones fallen off the dangerous bit yet though, just the lower slap. It'd be curtains from any higher, Neil was gonna downgrade it because he thought the cam was bomber.....

Doylo · December 29, 2005, 01:11:35 pm

quite a humorous thread on cocktalk about this now. Plenty of shite being spouted as usual, punters- don't u just love em!

Fiend · December 29, 2005, 06:46:58 pm

It's embarassing. I don't know how people can fail to understand the situation, it's really quite easy to grasp.

As before, leeching the information off here and putting it before people who can't be trusted to think before typing, hardly productive.

Fiend,

I don't understand how you don't understand that people can fail to understand the situation.

It really is quite simple.

Think about it just for one second!....if you have the time.

People just aren't as bright, informed, cerebral, learned, and as quick witted as you are. As you say they are generally dumb, foolish, idiotic and uneducated (probably ugly too.....amd smelly).

Makes you feel really good I bet....that's what it is all about right?
