Climber injurred Barden's Lookout October 2016 5-Nov-2016 At 9:14:37 PM Martym

Here is what I have heard and believe happened - a few weekends ago I heard there was an accident at Barden's which I haven't read about anywhere else - so just thought I'd record it here.
- Male belayer, female climber at Barden's Lookout at Mt York.
- Female fell backwards, hit her shoulder (apparently dislocating it) and bashed her head, bled profusely on a ledge. Unable to be safely lowered down.
- Belayer called for help.
- Several climbers came to their aid, one led a neighbouring climb (~14) and assisted her, tandem abseiled down where others performed first aid.
- Ambos were called, climber was helicoptered out to Westmead I believe... I may have misheard that bit.
