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....

Wow! You've got me beat. Sliced part of my right kneecap off, compressed my heels enough on a fall that they both exploded, broke a thumb, fractured the right big toe, and lost way too much akin on long, unfortunate slide down a rough slab (I knew it was bad when I was waiting in a darkened room in the hospital for a doc to show up and okay a morphine drip so I could get cleaned up, and nurses would pause outside the open door and murmur, "Sh#t, that doesn't look good.")

More from my FALLING injury collection than climbing injury collection: a couple pieces of titanium, resulting from blown out lower right orbital, three broken bones in the right foot, including talus bone, and one full week in the Auckland City Hospital in New Zealand. Drunken tree climbing... Soon after, I discovered the merits of a rope.

time to chime in,...
broke my ankle in my first leader fall @ age 18 (45' whipper @ 90' wall)...
sprained same ankle on midnight lighting in 1984 before i got the send...
I have had 7 finger injuries, one of which kept me off the rocks for 9 months...
Bad shoulder that was healed but jospeh schwartz in austin...
By far and away Scott Cosgrove has had the two worst injuries that both times the doc said he would never climb again, and he came back...

Sailing - Deformed little finger virtually no use of flexor, extensor tendons left.
Soccer - ACL
Hockey - Broken wrist (fell refereeing - lame), toe (from slapshot).
Climbing - Just soft tissue stuff minor stuff. Exercise rotator cuffs to keep them strong and avoid impinging on bone spurs, belayer's neck pain, etc.
