How many time have you hit the ground falling off 1-Mar-2012 At 12:17:28 PM hangdog

First biggy( 10mtrs +-) Fell off Avago at Piddo. Foothold broke and i went through the top of the belay tree and slid down the scree. Broke the tree. Thats what slowed me down i think. Prob about 10mtrs to the ground and then 4mtrs down the scree

Next- ( 4Mtrs)Flake broke on a climb at Zig Zag ( yes sandstone does get weak when it is wet) Dropped about a mtr to a ledge landed on my feet ,then flipped over backwards and landed on my back next to the belayer on the ground. Broke the casting on the cam.

Next (3 -4Mtrs)- Ran out of talent whilst placing a wire on Taurus at Piddo. Landed on the descent track still clutching the wire i had been trying to place.

Last biggy (5 Mtrs)- Bouldering at Balmoral Beach of all places. Hand or foot popped whilst topping out and i went into the rock shelf below head first. Woke up and was being strapped to spine board by the fire brigade. Really fast trip to RNS hospital. 2 weeks in hospital. Off work for 3 mths. Fractured skull 3 places, 2 broken wrists and a chipped tooth.
There might have been other things but hitting my head means i forget things from time to time
I dont like to fall off any more.
