BK had a 15 meter fall when an Ushba didn't engage ,despite 'hands off' rule. He's flat on his back waiting for a fuse job L1.
I know he got the boot from Taco, but I hope he still reads posts and knows we all wish him a speedy recovery.
Bruce, give me a call next time and forget that soloing sh#t, respect and best wishes!

Supertopo is fine, but people are what really matters, and Bruce is good people.

Heal well.

I miss his presence in this forum and wish him a speedy recovery. 15m is bad enough but at least give up the bouncing part. Cheers, fellow.

I'm assuming that he did not hit the ground, as a 15m/45ft fall is usually fatal.

All the best Bruce.

It means he used a device that had a history of being unreliable for the application he used it for.

Hurting your back is very serious and painful,

and the very best wishes to you Bruce ....

Truer words From Wbraun! Back injuries are very real show stoppers.

I am so sorry that incidents like this keep taking older veterans .

I hope that the situation is not to dire but again what Warner said.

It means he used a device that had a history of being unreliable for the application he used it for.

Hurting your back is very serious and painful,

and the very best wishes to you Bruce ....

my hopes and prayers for a full recovery.

Oh man so sorry to hear this. I've missed your persistent gentlemanly critical dissection of the warming deniers. From here you sound like a person with a very positive outlook. THAT along with ur persistence and you' ll be up chasing dreams in no time. I'll even throw in a good word about' cha to my imaginary friend for good measure;-)
