KaskadskyjKozak Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 having just been there this caught my eye: linky I'm wondering if this was just above the 2nd step? 11,300 is pretty close to the elevation of the ice chute. The incident is also on Gauthier's climbing blog. Quote
sobo Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 "He looks like he lost some teeth, possibly broke some ribs." Ouch! I hate climbs that end up requiring dental work. Glad to hear he's OK other than that. Quote
shortstow Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 was up there last week and didnt see any above the 2nd step, then again it has been hot and it could have opened up by now. Quote

Off_White Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Ouch! I hate climbs that end up requiring dental work. I miss Squid. Quote
sobo Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Squid required dental work after a climb? WTF was I that I missed that? Quote
Off_White Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 He took a fall leading at Smith with the rope in his mouth. Should have screamed instead of clamping down... Quote
Crevasse Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) I caught a cam in the mouth after checking a questionable placement. Busted a tooth off. Not a great moment on lead but after some time to get it together, I sent it. Edited July 4, 2008 by Crevasse Quote
