Hey Everyone,
just been to see Hen, he's doing alright, he's not aloud to weight bear on his left leg until
Feb. Everybody's been really great to him, he's been lent a couple of Ipods and Jules and Hugh are
going to lend him a tv and a PS2 when he comes home, that'll be real cool for him since we don't have a
tv in our house. Jules is going alright too except for he has the gruesome feeling of the scabs on his
back cracking open when the skin stretches, his rope burns were deep but are getting better.

A few big lessons have been learnt. If ever I have to belay from a ledge I will anchor myself, no matter
how big the ledge is. Helmets should always be worn by all members of a climbing party. The route Hen
and Jules were on had no loose rock but that turned out to be beside the point.
