So this is all how it happened.

After months of planning scooby, luke and i were stoked, packed, racked and set to attack ozy easter long weekend. As i was fixing a static over the last pitch this bloke was set base jump from wilkinsons. I heard the chute open from the belay anchors and when id jugged up to Lukey the view looked like he was pretty ordinary.

We bolted back to the car, stripped the rack and aid gear and ran in the cairn track to administer first aid. Emergency services were called then by us. When we reached him he had called the ambos already and the chopper was on its way already. The Paramedic was great and winched in to sort it all out. the chopper then returned to take the whole show onto albury. We then lugged it out with a wet parachute and a haul bag to lament our Ozy ascent until another day. Cudos go to Scooby for top notch first aid skills.
