John, this week’s whippee, wrote to Rock and Ice, “I was about to send when my foot popped…” Famous last words. He ends up taking one helluva back slapper off Whiskey A Go Go (5.13a) in Necedah, Wisconsin. At least his helmet was, in his words, “safe on the ground.”
Glad to see you walk away from this one, John. And excited to hear about the send when temps cool down later this fall, because, let’s face it, you gotta redeem yourself for that defeated-sounding,“Yeah, I want to come down.” Get back up there and send that rig!
Happy Friday and climb safe this weekend!
