(and fractured vertebrae and a punctured lung!) - the boy is made of metal!

A fantastic demonstration of how not to climb your first grade 5

I feel honoured to have been strangled by him!

Since this has gone and made photo of the week I thought I'd leave a little update. For stats this is actually Zapatista and not my first grade 5, just first in a while. I'm recovering super well all things considered and have full mobility. Breathing is still a little painful, but the back injuries seem to have gone away entirely. Lucky escape from an unlucky incident

Glad you're making a good recovery, I hope you were asked for permission to post the pic.

maybe good to have this in association with this picture: http://willgadd.com/note-to-self-how-not-to-fall-off-ice-climbing/

Thanks Danrich, excellent article.
I did ask for permission Brendan.

Good stuff.
