Reply To: Crashed and slightly burned

yes i was lucky, significant power reduction over the 3 week healing process and having to train heavily to get it back.

good stories.

i’ve got a friend who fell 10m just prior to putting in the 1st clip on the 4th pitch of a local climb, onto the belayer. they sort themselves out before he heads back on up, gets the clip in and then heads off for a couple of metres before experiencing a rope jam. poses a question or few to the belayer…no response.

turns out he’s cracked the skull of the belayer in the preceeding fall. an epic followed…
