Hit the ground from 18m and is in a serious condition.

I hope he pulls through.

So sad. What a legend.

Fiend · September 28, 2010, 09:26:48 am

I liked the picture of him with his rotpunkt brush in that Heinz Zak book...

Very sad news will be watching that font mantle of his on the real thing DVD and saluting him tonight.

Legend is sometimes over-used but Kurt surely was. On a poxy via ferrata as well.

Nibile · September 28, 2010, 12:26:14 pm

According to a link posted on the UKC, he's still alive on a respirator although unlikely to survive. Very sad.

Wipey Why · September 28, 2010, 01:10:23 pm

That's not good.

My thoughts go out to his friends and family.

willackers · September 28, 2010, 04:50:05 pm

This is really sad news

Legend......

This is tragic news, what a horrible potential end of a legend.

Sloper · September 28, 2010, 07:50:16 pm

18 months in ICU is better than 24 hours. Let's hope he makes a full recovery.

lagerstarfish · September 28, 2010, 08:01:41 pm

I hope he's dreaming about doing endless one armed pullups

dave · September 28, 2010, 08:13:41 pm
