I think the Group is going to need X-rays on this…….what a painful looking injury!

If a haul bag goes to the ground after a cord breaks, couldn't it possibly hurt someone? Wouldn't it be better to take the extra time and do it more safely?
Looking to do an el cap route next year. Maybe I'll have a better understanding when I'm actually doing it.

I had that same injury New Years 2013 on some huge swells paddle surfing. I still feel it to this day not as bad but it's there. I climbed less this year but never felt the injury but cross body paddle surfing while setting an edge on your rocker while dragging the paddle hurts like hell.
Speedy recovery

Terribly sorry to hear this, Tommy. Prayers and best wishes for a complete recovery, and please give you father my best as well.
Oh, and I would ignore that advice about not reading SuperTopo. Sorting the noise from the signal sharpens the mind.

Is the team continuing or did they all come down?
Does anyone know any real details of the accident? Did the hook just break, did it's anchor fail, user error?

I had breakfast next to Jorgeson at the caf on Saturday - after trying valiantly to resist being that guy, I couldn't and went full fanboy. He refused to sign my right pectoral, but he did shake my hand.
"You don't get it." I told wife after she made fun of me for being that guy, and for interrupting the man's breakfast. "That hand has climbed 5.14 on El Cap, and I just inherited some of the juju into my own hand." Staring at hand.
He was going back up that afternoon, he said.
Postscript is that I later got shut down on everything I tried at the Cookie. But I did feel a tickle in the palm while doing it, I did.

Le_Bruce, that tickle probably came from the time last winter when you were on The Pizza Deck, saw me from afar, went all fanboy and came up and shook my hand. I must've transfered some of my weak sauce into your arm. I'll wear off in a week.
And I would've signed your pec by the way. We'll miss you at Balch Fest. Maybe next year.

Well, I decided to make the drive back to yosemite. My ribs are feeling better and I cant seem to keep this climb out of my mind. My first day back on the wall was spent dodging ice chunks and trying to climb despite the bitterly cold wind. Yosemite sure is breathtaking when blanketed with snow.
