(First Clip)
Last Sunday, Simon and his mates from ATA (“All the Activities”) were climbing in Brooyar, South East Queensland, Australia. It was the end of a full weekend of climbing, but they were still ready for some try hard. In the video, shot by Simon’s friend Brett, Simon starts up Celluloid Hero (21/5.11a), a route with a particularly burly, pumpy start-standard for the area.
As he thugs up the climb beyond the first bolt, fatigue starts to creep into his forearms. By the time he’s staring at the second bolt, he’s already gripped. “This was the last climb of the weekend for me and I could not take a hand off to make the clip, even with the draw still up,” Simon told Rock and Ice. “I was so pumped my hand peeled right off it, and down I went.”

This video comes to us from Ian Thompson.
"This video was taken when a friend and I decided to make a 5 day trip down to Squamish B.C. Our plan was to start on 'Calculus Crack,' a very popular and moderate 5.8 multi-pitch, to get our bearings for the rest of the trip. We found what we believed to be the start of the route, with assistance from some of the local climbers (we did not have a guidebook). About halfway up, I began to realize that Squamish 5.8 was pretty stiff! Didn't think much about it though...
"As I got to the wide off-width crack at the top, I was beginning to get some pump and didn't have the proper jam technique to continue. As I have been able to read a little on MP since my accident, it turns out I was actually on a 5.10c line, called 'Start From Scratch.' My last piece, a red size 1" Camalot, popped. [Ian accidentally refers to this as a #2 cam in the video.] In retrospect, it should not have been placed where it was, due to the possibility of flex on the right side of the flake.
"As I pointed out in the [original UA-cam] video description, 'I have learned much from this experience; however, the major thing that would have saved me from this terrible accident was better preparedness. Lucky, I only came out with a sprained ankle and rope burn - from where the rope wrapped around my neck during the fall. My biggest hope from posting this failure was for it to be a learning experience for beginning trad climbers. Be safe out there everyone!"

“If you see this face when you’re falling, you know you’ve really messed up.” 😂😂😂
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@John Stanley Instablaster :)
@Brecken Koa i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Brecken Koa It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@John Stanley happy to help xD
Thank you for slowing the footage down and showing us that guy with his horrified expression. He’s probably just getting into climbing and he sees that lol. Great video!
Had me laughing good.
I love the "Climbing Fails", i can watch other people suffering and learn something new from your analysis - perfect!
Love the dry humor. It always fits well with a recreation that can kill you. We're all having a good time. Having fun. 😁
But if you mess up - thats it 😐
That screenshot of the other climber though 😯...🤣🤣🤣
I'll try the beta climber crew handshake thing next time for sure :D :D :D
Haha! That melody in the first video is from the 'Nutcracker' by Tchaikovsky.
Well played, sir. Well played.
I really like the unpolishedness of your channel. Keep em comin man
Good explanation on the rope around the neck the bad way as I didn’t understand at first
Rope has wrapped around my buddies arm during a climb in utah before. Completely tore his bicep muscle it was so gnarly
I dont even climb or care about climbing. I like the host and it's interesting. Thanks for the content.
🤙🏻
Always entertaining ! Great video !Love your humor
OMG you have the most creative intros!! I love them!
The nutcracker suite in the first vid was the best part.
what I think about that is maybe I should second guess trying trad climbing for the first time today haha. Jokes aside though i'm going to top rope a trad climb with a static rope and place gear while some one else belays me with the dynamic rope so i'm just kind of mock trad climbing for extra legitimate safety reasons
That is an excellent idea!
Why ever use a static rope for safety? In a fall you always want a dynamic rope to catch you smoothly. Also static ropes tend to tear of in that case. If this „static rope“ is tied staticly it‘s even more dangerous, I think.
Neo77 bit late with that reply, he’s probably severed his spinal chord by now 😂
@@neo778 hes on about top roping using a dynamic rope and then taking the static from the ground up and "leading" with that also.
@@finnplanb3 I see no reason to use a static ropes to catch a fall. It’s more an additional risc than additional safety. You better place your gear without a rope if you are secured by a dynamic toprope 🤷♂️
I would've been done climbing for the day had I almost been executed by my life saving device lol...."See ya guys. Good luck. I'm out this bitch"
Laughed for like 5 min straight at 6:45
That dude went climbing on a wide crack without wide gear. That was the real problem.
2:29 To be fair, the guy can be happy that only the friend came out. If the friend had actually grabbed the rock as its supposed to, it probably would have blown that right slab clean off the moment he fell.
I was thinking thr same thing. That placement was sketch all around.
Same thought in my mind. That flake looked chossy. I didn’t look closely but I didn’t see larger hexes or large pro of any kind on his rack.
That’s not what “zippering” means. I think you meant to say “sewed it up.” Zippering would be what happens when a bunch of pieces pull in sequence.
that's what I thought too
I like your videos
What triggered me the most about that trad video was the guy calling a #1 cam a #2
Climbing up
I was almost confident enough to lead trad but then I watched this video
I think what is ment with the cam wires is that the the pair in the back was thighter as the crack is wider at the front. There where so many nice cam placements around and he choses this crapy crag. He knows that he could have placed something better. But no shaming, this is not easy, I have been in similar situations, I had just more luck. I admire those who see imidiatly the perfect spot and know the exact cam and nut size.
All I could think of at 8 minute mark "borrow the wife's bucket" and "throw little things in there" was the phrase "it puts the lotion in the basket... ". I was expecting to hear the muffled cries of his wife from a basement well or see a moth in shot!
“It does this whenever it is told”.....lmao
What do you think about the cam being placed behind that skinny flake? Could that have been part of the problem?
YES.
The flake was decomposing... google “gru” it’s what you end up with when rainfall dissolves the kaolin in granite.. that flake broke off definitely
Absolutely right! The flake got blasted off.
There’s rarely places for my Camalot No 6, but that would have been a good one.
2:00 it took him over 1 minute to clip........
Climbing may fail, but it does not ever suck ! ;)
BEST CLIMBING CONTENT ON YT !
Still don't get trad. Anything you can climb safely you can climb easily.
lol no sign no skill ha ha so funny !!
I also don't like the use of that flake for protection... When you fall, the forces generated by the cam can far exceed your weight. Sure, that flake of rock might feel like a fine climbing hold, but what happens when you plant your feet on the opposing wall and try as hard as you possibly can to break it off? A one inch thick piece of granite might snap in that circumstance, and you have to imagine that's what a cam is effectively doing when it catches you.
Especially when it's been exposed to the elements for so long, it's pretty much just waiting to shear off.
that second video not realy sure what kind of jams hes going for but buddy could have used a fist jam instead and it prob would have saved him
That dude spits out a ton a blood! 5:04
Any amout of blood looks gory with a lot of saliva. Impossible to tell from the video.
it's not bad. probably just bit his lip. Like TheDude said. It looks like more than it really is because of saliva.
What you are describing as the bad way to have to rope around his neck . Is called half hitches
Nuckin Futs
It's a B but it's also a hand jam
Oh god, not the nuts again!
i run things out not because i'm lazy or have something to prove....it's because i'm poor. lol
subscribe !
i just decided to comment something random on every video just to help with the algorithm
Not all heroes wear capes…
Hey Josh.
Josef Berns 🤙🏻
We can make fun of zippering up but too much gear vs too little...
did anyone else hear korean after he fell?
that pc tho...
I would have done anything for that thing when I was 16 and played Battlefield 2 all day.
Some people should not be rock climbers. I am one of those people, and so are most of the people in this video.
nice computer
2 falls wtf
send it 😅 spent a little to much time on the one haha 😂 I was wondering if I should just do one fall an episode and just go really in depth about it or do you guys like seeing at least 5 even if it’s over 10 min?
@@BetaClimbers A deep, one-fail analysis would be great for some more complex fails. I think the multiple fails paradigm works better when no single fail is that serious, and really well if they are humorous. Just my opinion, and love your content! I think taking a longer look at a dude placing a clearly bad #1 and calling it a #2 and getting his rope around his neck is probably a good idea.
What about no stopper knot? He is just tied in with a figure-8
Beta climbing signal for sure
dude, you just stole videos from youtube. give them credit at least.
They where sent to me but good point I’ll try to find the original users and add it to the description. 🤙🏻
Thanks for the tip I was able to find stories behind the accented as well which really helps and are now in the description.
