You'd have to be pretty pumped not to be able to at least sling it and hang on the rope. Who knows? yeah, the tree thing was puzzling to me too.

Nice work. 3 Comments: 1) First video is "To Defy..." at the Red. I have taken roughly the same fall as that pictured, not fun when you are that close to clipping the chains. 2) That route at the Grampians is apparently well known for the huge run out at the end. Apparently you can whip from the chains and safely end up at the belay 80 feet below. This is regularly done apparently for victory whips as the fall takes place on the 2nd pitch. 3) RE: the gnarly trad fall. How do you fall off when you are holding on to a TREE??? Awesome stuff. Nice work.
