Nose, twice. First time hit by a stick screwing around, second time hit by an elbow at a Rob Zombie concert. Other than that been lucky in all my escapades of idiocy (so far...)

Sternum and tailbone have been the most annoying. They hurt for a while.

Easier to list bones I haven't broken:
Never done the femurs,humeri,or my pelvis.
Ribs are a bitch.

Strickly climbing-acident-related breaks? Somwhere in the neighborhood of 15 or 16 -- all in my first 8 years of climbing. Oh, that learning curve...

Since the last time I reported to this thread I broke a mess o' metatarsal in my now wider, left foot. All cocky fresh from one great spring in Moab/ Indian creek, I boneheadedly went free soloing in Vedauwoo with out reorienting to the totally disimilar gnarly cracks. 20' ground fall to cushy bed of Sherman granite, humbled my out look! Ice, , wrap ( thanks again for that beta Daphne!) &!ibuprofen steered me toward the better. But it took a big left shoe, and a mad spirit with fire in her eyes and lidocaine patches on my foot to have me heel toeing over my head ten days after impact.
I made it thirty three years with no broken bones but the last 23 yrs have been brutal! Guess we get old each in our own way, Brandon!

One of these days I'll tell the story of the mayhem inficted on my fragile person by a very famous climber. Oh, yeah, he totally meant it. But I forgave him.

Eesh. Long lists are going to be in this thread.
Been lucky that all my breaks have been hairlines, but:
Most of my toes (some twice) left heel, left ankle, nose twice, 5 ribs (2 twice), left clavicle, left wrist, left hand, couple fingers. More tears and joint damage then I care to list.

Just three (so far, and that I know of):
Chipped the tip off my big toe playing Ultimate.
Took a low-flying snowboarder to the face and busted up my skull where some teeth used to go. That took almost three years to repair!
And then there was this little mishap:
Some of these lists are ghastly. You people need to be more careful!

Only my 'Greek' toe while surfing. Greek toe is when your toe next to the big toe is longer than the others; Sportiva climbing shoes fit my foot the best. Not everyone has this freakshow of a toe. I got mine caught under my foot when getting to my feet during a late takeoff in a heavy beachbreak.
Because the swell was so good, I taped it up and continued to surf. The toe bothered me for over a year.

Plateau fracture of my left tibia, knocked a big piece off.
My problem is not bones but bad ligaments in my left knee.

51 years old and after 22 years of climbing, 15 years of skiing, 8 years of snow-boarding and 6 years of mountain-biking (including 2 years as a bicycle courier in Seattle):
Not one broken bone!
The clock is ticking...

I was going to ask do we count all the pieces your skull ends up in?
Second week of eight grade only remember getting a math book and the rest is a black hole.
1/4" pieces at impact, 1/2" left side forehead , 1" cheek . That's what they say I was out cold for a while.
Woke up with the guy from the 60s movie (Last Man On Earth) hammering a wooden spike through my head. Well if felt like it anyway.
Broke both bone on my left arm same fall off the barn roof in the back yard.
So that's all I though about till I read the all yours and then remembered only climbing related one Cracked ribs roof fall with swami belt, ok it was more than one fall.
Broken nose twice hitting ladder coming up for air after jumping off roof into pool,14ish.
Face plant night riding 40s so much blood the lift op called the rescue crew, I took off and at my daughters insistence stopped at the emergency/ aid clinic at the resort.
Doctor said yep broken nose good thing you were wearing a helmet. I cleaned up best I could and we did some more runs.
Toes mostly a few over the years, only remember four at one time on the freeway. Guy in front I was passing did not see me on a motor cycle. I had the choice lay it down or into the construction area where they were adding lanes. Missed the rebar and concrete but not the orange cone that feels soft in your hand but not at 60 MPH. Wrapped the shifter around my toes.
Out of five kids I think I am the only one to break bones but not sure its something to brag about.

You mean like 10 days ago? Woof.
My count is trivial, a pinkie tip playing volleyball, a couple of toes, and probably my nose when BVB hit me in the face when he jumped back from some little rattlesnake that scared him.
