Guilty of cutting into my flipline, phew! thank goodness for my second.


In my time, with only using 1 flipline on one occasion and not tending my slack on another and thinking I could jump for the next limb, only to slip and broke ribs on both occasions. I was one of the lucky ones......

Only time I've free climbed, was when i was a kid, NEVER now.
