Wall of Shame: Wannabe Experts

[CurSedVoyce]

Ouch.

 

[Burnham]

Yeah, that probably hurt.

 

[flushcut]

I don’t think I would have rigged it that way.

 

[Burnham]

Same here, but you never can really tell without being there. But it looked odd to me too.

 

[davidwyby]

I’m no climber/rigger but it looks obviously wrong to me…

 

[SeanKroll]

Looks like a failed redirect???

Purple understand redorects do certain things without fully understanding the vector forces.


I had a contact climber redirecting through maple leads, but all leaned the same way. I had to keep telling him to go smaller.

One fork then failed, but without a damaging consequence.

 

[flushcut]

I think what he was thinking is the redirect was just that but the line angles made it his primary rigging point taking the load of the drop.

 

[davidwyby]

you gon lern taday boi!

Agreed, coupled with a too heavy piece and brittle/half dead wood for rigging points.

 

[Kaveman]

Swinging for the fences.

 

[Burnham]

That was interesting .

 

[flushcut]

The meth is strong with these two.

 

[Dave Shepard]

At my last job, the office got a call that two of our guys were fist fighting on the customer's lawn. It was Squirrel and the Caveman. It couldn't have been too serious, or the Caveman would have killed the Squirrel. Never a dull moment.

 

[davidwyby]

@Kaveman and @SkwerI ? 😆

 

[cory]

maybe @Bodean knows this dude. Looks like a skilled climber who posted lessons learned

 

[SeanKroll]

What looked sensible, at all, there???

 

[Mick!]

Work is not a joke or a game.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nope, no joke (says the guy that broke his neck)

 

[cory]

What looked sensible, at all, there???

Did you read his breakdown of the incident? He listed the things he should have done differently.

 

[SeanKroll]

I didn't read it all.


I read an idea of what he thought he was going to do.

I ask again, what looked sensible?


That has FAFO all over it.

"I didn't want to start at the bottom." That's a desire, not a plan.


All my plans end with, "then, I turned the truck key to Off in my driveway"

 

[davidwyby]

I’m not a climber and I was like wtf at first glance obv no bueno. Stupid skinny palms. You won’t catch me up one.

 

[cory]

They are generally rather tough, no?

 

[davidwyby]

They are generally rather tough, no?

Sposed to be, but it’s grass, I wouldn’t climb them if I climbed 😆. Not those skinny ones

 

[SeanKroll]

There was a heavy lean with a kink, in wind with heavy dynamic loading added to the other forces.
