Bloody hell. How was the fall in the end??

Ooh, I can feel the soreness of the aftermath.

He survived with some serious grazing

Yet another reason to climb topless

Holy crap! Out of interest, how close did he end up to the floor? Felt like a very long run out to me!

Fantastic shot Pete, if a bit nightmarish! 5 from me.

I think he got away shaken with a grazed bum. The belayer ran backwards down the slope

A quick piece of thinking by you Don which saved his life

I think that's Robin Earle ... I ran backwards down hill and he ended up almost kissing the ground with rope stretch but survived with a bruised bum having bounced at least once
