Abseiler hurt on Bluff Mountain, Warrambungles 17-Jun-2016 At 11:03:46 AM sbm
Message
Caught up with Eamonn last night at the gym. I hear that the leader's helmet was written off after the fall and damn near cracked in half! Big hit. Sounded like they did pretty well to at least get both of them back to a larger ledge, after the traversy confused pitch the leader was trying in the twilight.

Things that came out of it

- they were using a single rope. There was a comment that double ropes would have made retreat maybe a more viable option.
- the first aid kit they had hadn't been checked in a while, it had just been thrown in the pack, and the emergency blanket basically disintegrated from age when they pulled it out of the packet and was useless, so the night was a lot colder than it needed to be.
