Dunno, but wishin Saifu a speedy recovery!
Re: Ground fall 11-21-12
Saw that while he had numerous fractures, there was no neurological damage. *whew*
Hopes for a quick recovery.

Can't we all just get along?
Re: Ground fall 11-21-12
Any more details? Route? Circumstances?
Sounds like it was a rough day on Wednesday. A friend of mine broke a foot at the top of Aquaduct Pocket while clipping the anchors, and took a header into a tree behind him, got knocked out for a few minutes. I also fell at the crux of Jack the Ripper, Ripped gear and Jacked my foot (har har har), clipping a ledge and tearing a bunch of tendons in it. No climbing this winter, it looks like [sadface].

So what's the body count this year...

Went to visit Saifu tonight and I couldn't believe how well he is doing, especially considering the catastrophic potential of his accident. Dude is totally with it, cracking jokes, laughing, smiling. Being in bed doesn't seem to be holding him down, which is so great to see! Such a miraculous result of what should have been a very bad injury. Keep on going Saifu, recovery is in sight!
Re: Ground fall 11-21-12
What exactly happened? Did pro blow? Anchor fail? Rope slice? Shot by locals? What's the story?
Re: Ground fall 11-21-12
His god smote him for liking pork and white women. As long as he gives those up, he will most likely have a long and fruitful climbing career.

I brought Saifu and his family back a bunch of food for Thanksgiving.
I made the mistake of grabbing a ton of ham. I was rather abashed.
