Just help us get through this dark and dismal winter...
Right shoulder dislocation (3 times)
Left shoulder dislocation (10 or 15 times total - only 3 or 4 were during climbs)
Compressed T7 vertabrae
Fractured right fifth metacarpal
Fractured right radius
Not all at once though...
No soft tissue damage except for the usual rock rashes

Think James might have you beat...and all at one time.
Although that's a heck of a lot of dislocations, you'd have to do a lot of precise tumbling down a slab to do that in one fall.
[for the record for me - impinged rotator cuff, finger tendon injuries, and loads of elbow tendonitis...]

climbing: some bumps and bruises.
mountain biking: clavicle, two fingers, ribs three times, disk in three pieces, couple of concussions. one of the fingers was really hand/finger, resulted in 5 pieces of titanium.

That's nasty, Jim.
I'd post an x-ray, but I cringe to look at it myself. Bone replaced by titanium and cobalt chrome.

Various sprains/strains- a few broken bones; much sh#t in left pinky, hairline pelvic fracture, split right lat maliolus, a split in the inner part of same foot. Overall, I can't complain, though I'm working on further entries.
Really, all things considered; like how dumb I was, and continue to be, it should have much worse.

Dudes... Respect.
I've got only a measly sprained ankle to contribute.
Clearly I'm not pushing myself enough. Maybe I'll keep it this way.

Broken left fibula, from falling off the trail after climbing an overhanging mud aid wall for two days in winter!
Numerous strained, tweaked, flamed elbows. A quarter sized golf divet in my shoulder from a large camalot dropped on El Cap from a full pitch above. ( I thought it broke my shoulder for a little while.)
Exceptionally lucky for 30+ yrs. of climbing....

Where's bvb? Nobody else even comes close. Anyone else here ever lose a lung in a bouldering fall?
