very interesting .. i recall scaring my self silly on that climb for similar reasons.. so I am probably lucky I did not end up with the same injuries .. the climb looks quite strainghtforward and looks like it has good pro, from the ground, but for the first few meters at least, I found it had too many round features which didn't take nuts or cams that well... I am sure I left the start fairly badly protected as well. Again, it was not till i got higher than I found a piece of pro that went in easliy and I liked.

I guess the lesson is that while itd ok to get scared on a climb, and its ok to do hard climbs, and its ok to be in a ground fall situation (when its easy), there's a need to make sure all 3 don;t occur at the same time..

Thanks for the info, and again hope you get better quickly..
