Rick, I've successfully slowed many pieces of debris down with my body, helping out those lower on the route. I believe I should do this professionally. 8)
The arm is great. I should be able to do stuff soon, though no technical climbing for a while, or anything requiring hitting things with my right arm.
Hi Taco,
Glad you didn't get hit by something bigger:
...about 500' below the summit I heard some large noises that could only mean something big was coming. We both retreated off the perfect crampon snow/ice of the chute to hug opposite rock cliffs on the sides. Sure enough a torrent of rock came bouncing down the biggest rock being the size of a refrigerator that took about six bounces as it flew past us...
Do you remember what you told me?
"Good stuff, Rick! Well, except for the bowling.
Gotta hit these deals when it's cold out."
I got hit below the eye on Whitney and a friend's brother lost his hand to rock fall. One of the many things that make climbing "fun"
There's a SAR team out there waiting for you... to join that is
