Talk about pendulum potential...

Funny how the angle of the photograph makes this look the way it does. The pendulum, while a risk to be considered, wouldn't be NEARLY as bad as the photo suggests.

I've definitely seen some scary swings--several people ending up in the trees in the bottom of the photo, after falling lower on the route. No shortage of cuts and scrapes.

Kind of looks like he is doing the linkup with that slab down below on the face...
