Was out at Santee Boulders and got motivated by a young kid to do the Animal Mantle, 5.11, on the Dead Animal Traverse. It was dusk so the headlamps came out when it was my turn. Patrick wasn't successful on his attempt but I was feeling light so I was hopeful. I made quick work of the traverse then hung on the lip below the mantle. I've done this many times before but am always concerned about my weight for this usually shuts me down. Hanging there I felt pretty good so I prepared to throw my "elbow to the sky". I cranked hard up onto my right palm but my chest started to drop a bit below the lip so I tried to compensate when something in my right lower ribcage POPPED twice causing me to somehow make a controlled eight foot fall to the pads and three spotters below!
"My ribs, my ribs. Something has happened to my ribs!" I grunted, bent over on my knees. An off-duty firefighter/EMT was there and began to assess me. All due respect but I just wanted him to shut up and leave me alone so I could get comfortable (and to think that I was a Paramedic for 15 years)!
I ended up in the local ER and went home with a fractured 8th rib.

Did some ice bouldering in Community Cave on the backside of the Terminator column in Spearfish Canyon over the lunch hour. Going out tonight to iceclimb under the stars with some new partners. After a couple weeks of cold and snow the ice gets real sticky on these 50 degree days.

Climbed a mountain of paperwork to start the day off. Hmmm.
Cyclists call going uphill "climbing." That's silly--climbing and riding are two different things = P
Thoughts of a two dimensional mind <rolls eyes>
Try cycling all the grades near Markleeville (Ebbetts, Monitor and Carson) and then get back with me. : /

I climbed Queen Victoria in Sedona with Pensylenvy the other day. Fun! I can't wait to climb more out there; what a beautiful place!
Today I am meeting Sonya(Soft Cookay) and James(F10) and climbing in Joshua Tree.
