Years ago there was a party that came down from the molar on mescalito.
Bones sticking out.
Party self rescued from high up on Zenith with full blown shoulder out of the socket.
Some in credible self rescues over the years ......

This case was admirable but you could do yourself some serious harm by
self-rescuing if it resulted in lengthening the time a limb suffered from
impeded blood flow or nerve impingement. Not to mention you could miss

Proud finish.
Partner had a similar break, pretty rough getting to the deck.
Thoughts of beer and pizza.....

Hey I was in the party that was up there with you guys... awesome to hear you all made it down ok. Awesome job pulling it off. Definitely the right decision it seems.
I tried to contact Clay to get him all the gear back, but if any of you guys want to message me an address, that'd be great.
Hope you heal up quick man.. Hey, all the more memorable.

"Clay fell onto the ledge when his piece blew falling 30 feet on the camp five pitch. Broke his tib fib. We used a belay seat and a piece of plastic chair that I had found wedged in a crack to build his splint for his leg. About two rolls of climbing tape later we had made a pretty damn good air cast. Freddy took off with the pig and put clay in the middle for repels. 18 raps later we were at the base. Clay rapped on a gri so he could slide on one side of his body down the wall keeping the left broken leg on the outside . Carried him out to the meadow and asked some sweds to call an ambulance. Thanks for the water btw. That was our first time on the nose. Won't be our last! Cheers!"
Wow.

Well done, indeed.
You guys should teach beginning rock climbing courses, injecting the importance of personal responsibility.

Proud. Tib and fib? That's a lot more than an ankle. You guys are in a small club.
