Monte Piton (Curt) got hurt after falling on Colchuck. The reason behind the incident appear to be well described in the newspaper link below, but it was related to a lightening strike and his rope getting chopped.

At any rate, not a thread to discuss the details of the accident, but to wish Curt a quick recovery from his accident. I'm sure a few of you know him.
Best wishes Curt!
