I know you're into subjective experience, but isn't this carrying it a little too far?
Screw the insights, just go for the good drugs and get better soon!

Largo, you should of spent more time outdoors learning the basics in relative safety before you ventured indoors to the real world of plastic.
BTW, whats the story?

Looking on the brighter side, this temporary setback may give John enough time to finish his new book:
The Plasticmasters: California Gym Climbers in the 2010s
Heal up fast and well, Largo!

Bummer John,
I was hoping this was posted by a troll at his/her worst.
It sounds like you have good folks around you and an obvious strong support system (if needed) in 'the community'.
Get well soon!

Get better.
I broke my nose once by tripping on a shoelace. I broke my big toe while drunkenly stumbling back to my tent.
You might get whacked walking across the street.
So don't take no crap about getting hurt in a gym.
I'll pray for ya.

rrider, That powerhouse of a woman is the perfect big-wall designated pig-hauler!
She looks as if she could deck Largo (or any of us) with not much effort.
Sheesh, only seventeen?

Dear Largo, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. If our fond wishes could make you well, you'd be walking out of there today. Love!

Well, it does look like he's had a few too many Oreo shakes.
I went through my 60th birthday this year with a blown Achilles - that sure made me feel old but all is well now and I'm ready to kick ass again - I wish the same comeback to you Largo!

Oh bummer. One of my heros. Largo will heal up quick i'm sure. I gotta be honest though...I hold that guy fully responsible for 25+++ years of climbing addiction. It was his early vids I watched that put me onto the whole climbing thing and soon had me living under a dirty rock in some place called Camp 4 for a couple of seasons. Heal up Sir.

John, gonna bury the hatchet with Go-Bee and Blueblocker and hold some prayer sessions for ya.
Modern medicine is great. They charge you fifty bucks for every one of those paper pillow covers. A dude comes for your sponge bath. You get so constipated from the opiates that they time your bowel movements. When the threat of the enema grows strong, go sit on that toilet or bed pan for an hour to sh#t out a series of peas. Like Milk Duds.
No way am I ever gonna deface my pride by getting a f*#king enema.
Morpheine is about the cheapest drug on the planet. A big vial costs 10 bucks or something. Use it liberally, and if you can steal some, send it to me. For proper and legal disposal, of course.

John,
I figure you'll have time to follow this thread...
I did a couple of laps on Hummingbird in the rain today and was thinking about your knarly Mono exploits on the steepest sections.
I think unless you've seen it with your own eyes, it's hard to comprehend the level of talent it takes to manage off-road on one wheel. I work my ass off trying to stay vertical on two !
I know it is especially hard on athletes to be side-lined by such injuries and I hope you have a speedy, full recovery.
