Weekend Whippers

"That's a lot of slack, buddy," we hear someone say to the belayer just before this whopping victory whip in Yangshuo, China ?

You never want to take a ground fall, but if you do happen to take one, you can't ask for a much softer landing than this.

On Mountain Project, The Acid Crack is described as a "not often done Josh testpiece [that] climbs an overhanging thin fingers crack."

This isn't one of our usual cookie-cutter whipper + slo-mo edits. It's a whole new level here on Unpopular Mechanics.

This fall in Kings Canyon National Park could've been a lot worse if a couple things had gone just a little differently.

We get dizzy just watching these backflips.

This Whipper is terrifying. Thankfully, Ian, the Whippee, was fine. Though there is no graphic footage, viewer discretion is advised.

The look on Hörst's face after this fall in Rifle, Colorado, says it all.

Because when is climbing naked not funny?

If you must fall on a slab, at least provide some entertaining narration beforehand to give you friends a laugh.

This just in: Turns out the rubber on run-of-the-mill sneakers isn't as sticky as the rubber on climbing shoes.

Gear ripping during a fall is never good.
