Weekend Whipper: Barefoot Free-Soloist Craters

Warning: This video depicts a climber being injured. Some viewers may find it disturbing. It is shown only for educational purposes, illustrating the real-life consequences of falling.

What happens when you attempt to climb a choss pile? Well, holds tend to explode.

Three good lessons can be learned here: Never climb a crumbling cliff. Never free-solo a crumbling cliff. And never free-solo a crumbling cliff while barefoot. This guy was lucky and walked away with only a broken elbow and a fractured wrist.

Stay safe out there!
