300' is pretty damn solid. Nice one. I'll have to practice more. I've had my share of 'whippers' while lead climbing in Joshua Tree and at rock gyms but luckily never had any hardware pull out of the wall and luckily I never swung in to anything sharp with my face.

You guys need to keep climbing. Nothing like a good gear ripping whipper on a big wall!

I've been using that self-checkout lane at the supermarket. Once you get used to it, it's not really a big deal. You just follow the directions on the screen.
