While clicking through some photos to add to the Steelmonkey's "http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=345405 thread, I came across this shot.
I received this gem after coming off the roof on True Value at Le Petit Verdon, Flagstaff.
Certainly there are better war wounds than that! Let's see 'em!!

Yowza, Susan... that one looks like it hurt when you hit the showers... I hate those kind of wounds!
Grevious wounds, had 'em.
Photos of said wounds, ain't got 'em (although I DO have all the insurance billing, does that count?! hehe!)

Sooze...that's nasty. Got something like that under my leg once when we were at the Flagstaff gym (the summer the forests were all closed) and a hold I was standing on broke in half.
I had a really cool looking one from crashing on my mountain bike yesterday, but it looked way worse than it was and I forgot to take a pic before I washed the blood off...dang.

Ok, that qualifies as "grievous".

WOW! That's a nice one Werner. I wonder how long was it before he could wear stelettoes again?

Oh that ankle injury is just minor scratch.
I have real grievous photos, but I better not show.

I wish I had gone to see the injury of a boulderer who got hurt near me this summer. I was belaying someone on Boston(or one of those climbs; my memory is cloudy right now), and this woman was traversing that section under the Horseman overhang.
She fell off from about 10 feet up and her foot hit the edge of the bouldering pad. She was screaming "Oh my GOD!" and clearly going into shock.
I wanted to go see - but I am prett sure I WOULD have thrown up. Her foot and leg bones were completely separated. Only some skin was keeping the foot and her leg from being in two pieces.
10 foot fall, with a funky landing. That's all it took. Yow.

30 years of climbing did my toenails in. Then came along 8 screws and a plate.
