Sad news. At least you'll be getting great docs at Harborview. Get well soon.

 

Perhaps that UW rock needs closely-spaced bolts to prevent such an accident. Or at least closely-spaced lawyers to deal with its aftermath.

I happened to be getting ready to climb at the rock when Porter took his fall, and I don't think I'll view Coach's Crack (the top of which he fell from) quite the same again. It wasn't a pretty sight, but Porter was hangin' in there solid despite what, based on the crook in his lower right leg, must've been terrible pain. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Someone must have pushed him. :brew: Must have paid extra for the good drugs cause he's aweful quiet right now, normally 15 min won't go by without a Porter post.

 

Dude: here's wishing you fast recovery and pretty nurses.

Recently I could have sworn it looked like something had been poured down that side of the wall. Must have been rabid locals trying to prevent the send a la City Park. :noway:

Bejesus! I'm cutting back posting as I think I'm beginning to see a sync'ing up of the posting and accident rates around here!

 

Just kidding (I hope) - get well soon Porter...

I was thinking that too.

 

BTW: Eerie prediction ?

 

 

Hey Porter, new thought, if the surgery goes bad and ya don't make it, can I have your cams? :lmao:

man, porter...this BLOWS...you'll heal up quick though...and just think...skiing sucks anyway, and the weather's movin in so climbing will be a done deal until about the time you're raring to go and fit!

Man that suuuuuucks. I've fallen while reaching for the top at the end of a problem just to the right of Coach's Crack that we called "Four Rock Classic." I was lucky enough to walk away no worse for wear, but it did seem as though that the gravel on that side was just a bit shallower than elsewhere. I can vaguely recall pushing a bit more gravel into my anticipated landing zones on that aspect of the rock after that.

 

Anyhow - very sorry to hear about the accident, and hope that you get great care and recover fully, as quickly as possible.
