Mark Vaiserman opts for the victory whip from the anchors of Take It Or Leave It (7b+/5.12c) at Beit Arye, Israel. He clears the roof, but
his belayer underestimates the length of the fall and Vaiserman careens into a ledge.
“The catch wasn’t very smooth,” he says, “but I wasn’t injured.”
Happy Friday and stay safe out there this weekend!
