Wow, I hope that's not true. That's also not easy to do at a gym these days.

John has been known to climb at Rockreation in WLA. Doesn't Fluoride work for them? Maybe she knows.

It would appear that he did in fact injure himself at the Gym, he's resting at the moment and I'm sure he'll tell us all about it soon. . .df

If John got hurt, doing it at the gym would be about right.
I just got off the DL after nine months. I fell off the top of the boulder at our climbing gym, When I think of some of the highball falls I took while bouldering in the ancient days before pads, I'm still amazed that the only time I hurt myself bouldering was falling less than eight feet, feet-first, onto pads.
If you really are hurt, Largo, best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

Jack severed his achilles tendon at the gym once years ago when a foothold spun....was up just one bolt, so fell hard and slammed his leg into the wall, and his achilles just rolled on up his leg! :-( Brutal and long recovery (I think it was 3 months non-weightbearing), but he recovered 100% in time.........
John, if this rumor is true, I hope you heal quickly!!
cheers,
Pam

There sure have been more accidents and bone-brakes at my local climbing gym than I've heard about at the Reed's Pinnacle Area. Just from watching the flashing lights in front of the place, I'd say there's been a broken femur, three fractured vertebrae, a broken ankle, and who knows what else due to either being dropped by a belayer or falling off a bouldering wall. Heck, I tore my rotator cuff and dislocated my arm there too.
Much safer outdoors than in the 'controlled' indoor environment.
Heal up quick, Largo!

He's bound to wax philosophically about it once he's back on-line. The mind usually imposes on the body, sometimes it's the other way around. Gotta suck as subjective experiences goes.
