Anyone heard how Mark Pretty is doing? Apparently he is in Stoke hospital.
-
Broken wrists after a ground fall at Moat Buttress.
Got a text from him on Tuesday: "Op went well so so far not too bad"
-
Apparently, he's been walking for the past three days, and out soon.
Doesn't sound as bad as things could've been, though still nasty.
Good luck Zips x

Heal quick Zips
-
Shit! Heal quickly Zippy!

All that, and a metal plate with 80 screws in his back.
Visited Saturday night and he seemed pretty psyched on life.
He hasn't lost his sense of humour.
Lets wish him a speedy recovery!
-
:o
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
-
Shit - get well soon Zippy.
-
Mark, get well soon dear old friend ... and come down here to Upsidedownland for a little R&R.
Spare key's under the plant pot. (How's he BTW?).
Be well,
AP.

He told me he's confident he'll be back to it but not any time soon :(

Speedy recovery old boy.
Ps Snoop sends her love.

Mark is due to go home to his folks today. Some nasty injuries to recover from but I expect he'll be all right.
Very philosophical about it, impressive. :strongbench:

Phew. I am glad he is okay. I am just wondering if he will be doing that new line he was working on?

Etiquette would suggest you give it some time, then get in contact and ask him directly.
I don't think its a retro-job, so I think its still off limits until you get word from the man himself.

Jesus, Bolter are you a vulture or what?

Hi Bolter, I mentioned this thread to Mark. Zippy's reaction was this
Don't be so rude
He'll be back
-
Chill. Its just Seb having a laugh
-
Just thought I would report that whilst Mark is far from recovered he is in great spirits and back climbing though mainly top roping.
In a recent trip to France he top roped an 8a clean but typically said it was 'really' 7c+. :) ;D
-
Can't be 100% if he didn't grade it 5c.
