A little free solo jaunt up an obscure cliff in sneakers is never a good idea, but in this Weekend Whipper, two inexperienced climbers use poor judgement
and decide to go for it anyway. However, while confronting a slight bulge in the stone, the higher climber loses his footing, and pitches off. While
surely heading for an extremely dangerous and possible fatal fall, luck intervenes, and he is saved by a catch you have to see to believe.
