- sounds crap back luck... will try to find some time to say hello - only down the way at work.
If he fell off the top of Chee Tor and
only crushed a vertebrae I'd say he's pretty bloody lucky!
I wish him all the best for a speedy recovery, and I hope that his friends and family are OK too.
I suspect his belayer's probably pretty shook up by the whole business as well. From a similar experience (but a much more minor fracture) I came out fine, but the people I landed at the feet of nearly gave up climbing! If anyone knows the belayer, can you give them a manly hug and some appropriate reassurance please?
