I love that green snack bag at 3:56. The only missing thing is a whiskey bottle. |

That idiot grabbed the lead side of the rope rather than the brake side. This prevented the gro gro from locking. |

That was not even a lead fall, it was a top rope fall. The draw above hime was clipped. Just imagine if he'd taken an actual lead fall. There would have been no hope. |

Belayer got lucky he didn't experience physical intervention, unless the camera was turned off at the right time. |

I oppologise. All the snark is why I hardly post here anymore but this is pretty simple. When you belay you have your partners life in your hands.
