Hey George

I believe that may be a quick draw and nut left by my brother and I. What happened was whilst my brother was leading, he had the rope in his mouth to pull more rope up to the next clip in. While doing so he fell with the rope in his mouth which ripped one of his incisor teeth out and fractured the very front one. Oddly the one that ripped out was retained off the ground, reinserted and is fine now but the fractured front tooth will need replacing with a falsy.

So rather than chase up this equipment we headed off straight away to a dentist at Margaret river.

If possible would be very grateful to have the equipment back but thought Id write anyway to let others know what can happen- i know thats how Adventure out teaches climbers and ive seen other climbers with rope in their mouth-just a word of warning.

My number is 9371 6588.

Cheers

Josh

Using your mouth for the rope is common practice and will keep getting taught. It is up to the climber to remember not to have it in their mouth as the rope takes up in the event of a fall.
