Hi Jack,
We all love a good report, and what Maddy as done is very impressive, and deserves a report, however dont spoil it with this....

"Particularly impressive is that Madeleine, known as Maddy to her friends, is still recovering from a subluxed (dislocated) shoulder back in the winter."
A sublux is not a dislocation..with totally different management...dont try to spin something it is not!!!!..impressive is impressive...what next?
"I wallked up Mount Snowdon with a sprained ankle that could have been a fracture"
"Climber with headache manages 3 pebble slab, and states it must be E1 without anadin"

Well, it is a partial dislocation so not a million miles out.

Not a million miles out, not even thousands,..we talking mm's..but its a sublux..not a dislocation!!..so clincially different...I only have a partial fracture cos its not all the way through..oh! I only have partial cancer cos its only in one lung!!
Have seen predator and people on it...and its now way out of my league, and its impressive to do in its own right..but the "spin" is poor!!!!!!
Not a good sell
Cheers
