How are those bruises Sol. Glad you seem alright.
I had a similar experience on Golden Fleece wall a few weeks back, although no ground fall (and no fancy jams required).The plan was to onsight Golden Fleece and it was my last climb before heading home that day. I didn't bother to read the guide properly and got confused when I hit the ledge. Spent ages trying to place a medium-sized nut but my attempts were less than mediocre. Eventually I headed up (on what turned out to be Possibly Beautiful) scared shitless and shaking. It did seem too hard for the grade and I didn't trust my last piece. So I placed another micronut from a very awkward position. Eventually I took a fall, my medium nut popped out but the micro nut held the fall. Not bad for my first fall on trad. My belayer eventually suggested to follow the chalk marks further left, which was alot easier but I was shaking all the way.
