Dave MacLeod lowering accident 9-Oct-2012 At 4:38:11 AM comablur

Hi Shorty, and all the rest of you Chockers out there, hows it all going. As the sticker on the back of the van said "if this van is rocking, don't laugh your daughter maybe inside!". Hindsight is an amazing tool, shit I would never had broken my ankle if I had known that I was going to break it, maybe I would have stayed at home picking lint out of my navel. I am really glade that Dave had his accident (sorry Dave don't really mean that), I mean it gives everyone that avenue to show just how much they know about this sport that we love, I can hear the chest beating right now. I am not sure how many climbs Dave Macleod has completed/attempted/on sighted/red pointed/pink pointed/top roped/lowered off/abseiled down/bolted/bouldered/looked at/ walked away from and dreamt (dreamed) about, but I would gues that this is one of the first times he was lowered pass the end of the rope. Saying that he should have known better, but shit happens, get over it and move on. For I am sure Dave will be over his injury well before this post is dead.

So long and thanks for listening
