I know the climber involved and he will be ok. He is an experienced climber but made a big mistake rapping down the eternity at piddo, no knot in the end of the rope and went off the end. Ended up falling 10 or so metres. Rope ended up on the deck and his partner stranded on the ledge luckily some other dudes came to his aid and called the ambos. Choppered to westmead with suspected spinal and hip. Has all feelings and no deficits so should heal in time. I have climbed with guy lots and he is very competent. Just spent a week at araps together where we were super careful seems back home in familiar surrounds he got complacent and let his gaurd down. Lesson to us all. Thankfully he will make it back from this mistake.
