Accident at Camels Hump 13-Oct-2013 At 12:06:13 PM bigchris

I was climbing Witch at the time, and from what I understand, She fell of the block at the base of Black Magic, and kinda fell to the right and then down the crack all the way to the bottom.

Heard people screaming, which we ignored at first, because anyone who climbs with me knows that I squeal like a little bitch when I'm pumped and freaking out, but then saw all of these uni students running down the hill and I asked them if I needed to jokingly call an ambulance and they all yelled out to do so.

From the looks of things, she'd smashed her teeth out, broken her nose and was bleeding quite a bit. She wasn't climbing at the time, but had her harness and helmet on, so lucky for her, otherwise she may have ended up horrendously injured (or dead). She's also lucky that she didn't fall of the back of where she was standing. It would have been a long, long way to the ground otherwise.

Below is a photo of the rescue.
