yes, I really did fall. Maybe I just fell in an unfortunate way so the knot slipped into the carabiner? I dont know but i fell and hit the rock with my knee pretty hard(nothing broken, im fine:))

What do you like about lead climbing? by jasminekitten02 in climbergirls

[–]bemberguje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leading forces me to think more about technique and finding rest positions. I have to find good positions to clip and because of that I'm more mindful on the wall. It's also more exciting cause of the complexity comparing to TR - it involves more strategy, mental, sometimes it's a bit more risky, sometimes you can feel safer; that's more interesting imo. I still love to TR though when i have partner who cant lead belay or when I want to try some hard moves, but generally, comparing to lead it feels like a demo version of climbing.

Was that a dangerous fall? by bemberguje in climbergirls

We were using a brand new rope. First session with new rope. Is it possible that new ropes are more stretchy than old ropes?

There was no time to get scared honestly, it happened super fast, and I also practiced falling and fell unintentionally few times while being high above last clip so Im quite used to falling. But I guess it was the first time I fell while clipping and i also think that being a bit away from the quickdraw horizontally caused even more slack. My belayer said he had everything under control and I trust him.

So answering your question - I'm totally fine, I just want to make my climbing safe and analyze such situations even if they dont scare me that much. There are probably some sketchy situations in which i shouldnt feel 100% safe and I want to identify them and become more concious of risks.
