To the rumor mill:

Before you get too worked up on the "bumbly" this and that who did something stupid and blah blah blah.

Show some consideration and don't talk when you don't know.

The accident. That was me. I fracture dislocated my talus quite severely. There was concern over the status of my back and neck considering the fall was between 10 and 12 meters. However, I sustained no further injuries beyond the foot. I feel no need to defend my competence. I appreciate the efforts of all those involved. For any who may have helped and are reading this, I can't thank you enough.

For any who are so terribly interested in what happened so they can run away with speculation and accusation on the incorrect techniques and foolishness and bumblieness and etc... Too bad.

I'll climb again another day. In fact as soon as I get off the bloody crutches it should be Frog season.

Climb hard climb safe climb for yourself and f--- all the rest.
