So this last weekend I took a bad fall at high wire in clear creek. Fortunately two passerbys offered to assist myself and my partner in getting down from the base. Justin and Winston you two were complete badasses and I can't thank you enough for your help. We would have been stuck in a real tough spot had you not come along. Please hit me up in here if you read the forum or maybe we will bump into each other at movement in the near future but is at bare minimum like to buy you both lunch and some cold ones.

Still waiting on dr apts but I do know that my left ankle is badly sprained and I broke my right ankle (medial tibia fracture iirc). So thanks again for carrying me and I hope your day went well after that warmup ;)

Sorry to hear about your injuries. Care to share the details of the accident?

Sure. So I was on nickels and dimes approaching the 5th bolt on the flake. My left foot blew off and I slid down the slab and decked on the little ledge just below the 3rd bolt. That is about all there is to it. And was no fault of my partner, who feels terrible about it. Just a bad fall and just far enough to hit the ledge.

if it was Winston the PHD student at CU with good facial hair then I can put you in touch.
