You know a good whipper is on the way when you hear “I’m gonna go for it dude”, “Gimme something” and “Falling!” in that order—a sequence of phrases that make a belayer cringe.
But despite the scream, back thump and bruised ego, Michael Coleman survived his first ever whip with high spirits.
“Had to fall eventually I guess,” Coleman told Rock and Ice. “Not proud of my scream. Hahaha.”
Stay safe out there!
