Hi, saw a air ambulance and mountain rescue at bottom of stanage pop on way back from Burbage today.
Would like to wish whoever it was a safe recovery and wish it wasn't too serious.
Regards, tom

Unfortunately it seems all too regular.

4 out of the first 6 times I went to Stanage this year the helicopter was out.

Seems there's a lot more accidents at Stanage than anywhere else, even though Burbage and Froggatt get really busy too.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to whoever got hurt and hope it wasn't too serious.

Really really sad news.

It's not very often you hear about someone passing away as a result of climbing given the number of falls and accidents that happen at a busy crags like Stanage. I'm quite shocked.

In reply to Ropeboy: You can get killed anywhere, a good mate of mine was killed soloing on Windgather just a few years ago on a route he regularly soloed down, he banged his head and even his helmet didn't save him. You can generally fall off safely but just don't hit the ground, even then you are unlucky if you die.
Condolences To all who knew her.

In reply to tompilgrem: Was on Burbage North on Sat and saw the air ambulance, hoped and never thought anything too serious had happend there was alot of air traffic due to the Chatsworth show I think.

So sad to hear such news, my condolences for the family and friends of the young lady.

Awful news.

I'm actually in shock over this, as climbing at Stanage (with gear etc) is not the sort of thing I associate with this.

Heard about this on Sat from a friend who was climbing at Stannage.
Condolences to her climbing buddy, family and friends and all who witnessed and dealt with this young lady.

I guess incidents like this make us all suddenly feel very mortal...

marc osborne 14 Sep 2009
In reply to chickenpox: Hi to everyone, thank you all for your mesasges, i will ensure they are all passed on, both funerals are this week. I was teaching jacki to climb just before she went. She was doing it for the lads she worked with. She was an amazing climber a natural fearless talent which you couldnt help but admire. It has been a really tough time, she was the life and soul of every party!
