NPR just reported a non-lethal climbing accident at Moore's on Sunday. 28-yo man. No details. Any one know anything?

The climber fell about 20 feet while being lowered. Apparently at this point the available information indicates that the rope just broke when the climber was about 20 feet off the ground. I'm sure more information will become available soon.

Hope he didn't wreck himself too bad.

Updated information indicates that rather than the rope breaking which would have been most unusual the climber was actually lowered off the end of the rope.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
