Don't Let This Happen to You! (FOOT STUCK)
Quick one for you all today. This was a fail sent in that I feel should be covered. This is a painful situation that you don't want to find yourself in. So in this episode I quickly go over how to prevent this and how to possibly get out of it. If this helps and you'd like to see more of these type of clips let me know. Thank you all for the continued support as we try to get climbing safety out to everyone!

There's always the "127 Hours" option.

Saw this happen to someone at the gym. Still have nightmares.
I've seen this happen. Not easy to get out if you are hanging in the air. Solution was option number 3.
I saw this happen to a guy lead climbing at the gym but he wrapped the rope around his foot above the draw during the fall. The force of the fall dislocated his ankle. When he was lowered to the ground his foot was at a 90 degree angle. Still gives me shivers thinking about it.

Oof
Good technique
This happened to me in the gym, moving dynamically left to right across the rope on a short overhang, foot must have flailed and hit the rope just as I didn’t stick the hold. Ended up stuck between two draws and went with option 3 haha. My buddy went up on TR next route over and freed my ankle. Only injuries were a slight bruise, a little rope burn and a devastated ego. Doing a hanging sit-up while freeing rope that your body weight is hanging from felt IMPOSSIBLE !
I was bouldering once at Hueco on a problem called Camel Toe and had a bomber heel toe cam and my hands popped but my foot stayed...thankfully I was just tall enough to reach the slab below me inverted like a handstand and quick spotters who picked me up to unlock my foot cam. If I was higher up I imagine it would have dislocated or broken my ankle and I'd have dangled until my skin ripped and I would be minus a foot... 😬

Tie a prusik onto the rope and then ascend? I generally always have a prusik on me, even when sport climbing, so that was kind of my first thought.
I did that at the gym... Luckily there was some good jugs nearby that I could use to get unstuck. Lesson learned.. Pay attention to where you put your feet. Even when you are dead tired and pumped...
This happened to me once in a gym! But my foot was wrapped in rope in between two draws, so option 1 wasn't an option: the lower quickdraw prevented me from going past it.
Wouldn’t the rope wrap on the climber side of the quick draw?

If you clip the draw at let’s say waste height or higher then you get this problem. If the draw is below you it’s still possible but less likely
