My 0.3 C4 saved my butt.

By jojo Ranked #294 - Big Wall Climbing May 30, 2010

The short version of the story is that I took a big fall, and my 0.3 C4, my rope, my belayer, and my helmet literally saved my life.

The weakest part of a placement is usually the placement itself rather than the gear, and I want to thank Black Diamond for making that the case. I've found my C4's to be versatile and easy to place, which was why I picked them to begin with. Thanks a trillion to the designers, testers, manufacturers, QC folks, the marketing folks, and everyone else at Black Diamond that played a part in my decision to buy, bring, and place my C4 cams, and to making sure they did their job.
