Sugarloaf Mountain, Maryland
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,” Coleman told Rock and Ice. “Not proud of my scream. Hahaha.”
Stay safe out there!
