Colin,
Mark Cox here. How's the hand? Has the swelling gone down yet? Thanks for the beer.

As for the rescue. I assisted. I've had loads of experience with remote rescues and was impressed with the duty of care taken by all those on scene. I also appreciated that several people took time to make sure my daughter (Tegan) who was there at the time of the fall, was coping while I assisted. Loads of quality people waited patiently to assist with the carry out.

I was disappointed with a group that crossed our path during the carry out focused on themselves. Didn't have time to find out what they were doing.

Colin was incredibly lucky. To fall 15m pin balling without a helmet and not strike your head is rare. And then land in that gully which is really a scree slope without a break is freakish.
