In rock climbing, a whipper is an especial … In rock climbing, a whipper is an especially hard or dynamic fall where the rope is weighed by a significant load. A fall is considered hard when the climber falls beyond at least one piece of protection, which in trad climbing would mean the last piece placed by the climber (such as a cam or nut) and in sport climbing would be the last successfully clipped quickdraw. The term whipper comes from the whipping motion a climber experiences when swinging into the wall after being caught by the rope. Whippers can be very dramatic falls, often for quite a distance. The distance of a whipper is determined by a number of factors, including rope stretch, slack in the rope, distance from the last piece of protection, and difference in weight between the climber and the belayer. When a whipper is particularly long and the load great, a belayer will be lifted from the ground, occasionally all the way up to the first piece of protection or bolt. Depending on how far up the route the climber has gone, the climber may fall far enough to meet the belayer at an even level or even pass the belayer on the way down. This effect is most common when a climber is significantly heavier than their belayer, but can happen in various other circumstances as well. Dynamic rope is well-suited to handle whippers, which put a great deal of strain on a rope and equipment.at deal of strain on a rope and equipment.
