Damn man, you crossed my mind awhile back, but I just figger'd you were another lurker who went away. Anyhow, glad your still around. YEAH, your one LUCKY SOB BRO. 100 foot fall..... generally speaking, anything above 30 is fatal, at least that's the rule of the Elevator man, if it's 30, it may as well be 1000, so anyhow, take care, and positive energy your way.
Cheers and a speedy recovery,
Doug

James, when JL walked in your room, did you know it was him or did you think Black Flag was in town for a reunion tour?
Hurry up and recover already, we need you to help flame the flood of RC.commers back into the dark corner of the internet from whence they came.
PS- any hot nurses, or are they all 60+ years old?

My 15 minutes gone so fast. I was barely there for it too.
I'm going to continue soloing this fall or as son as I get out. I still won't tell my mom.
Seeing John Long was rad, impressive person.
I'd like to meet Klaus eventually...can the not really crippled start a make the wiah foundation?
more flaming!

James,
Good to have you back in one piece;albeit, one piece held together with titanium rods. If you ever need to make it onto a flight on time, plan on getting to the airport a little earlier now.

An update for those interested and irrevalent information for those with too much apathy on their hands.
I'm currently at Los Gatos Community Hospital. It's been approximately 6 and 1/2 weeks since my accident on Dec 18. Not that I was countaing in bed or anything. The facility here is excellent. They are care nazis enforcing rules that I can't help but break at times. I'm in awheelchair and still require a lot of assistance. I have been standing a little -a total of 15 minutes see I'm not light. I have a bionic cast on my left arm and have to wear a neck brace to protect my cervical vertebrae?-the top ones. I have partial weight bearing on my left leg and a fair amount of nerve damage in my right-leading to foot drop and what not. I should be out of here soon. By march i'll be out of the healthcare vortex for sure and I'll be climbing this fall if I have any say. Hopefully I didn't lose too much mobility-otherwise I'll have to aid climb. Hope this post was enlightening.

Good on ya!
Don't rush, it will come back, in it's own time to it's own degee. You're young (aren't we all?) and have enough time for a full recovery, whatever that might be.
See you in Josh

Hey James, is it true that you were trying to on-sight free-solo North Overhang?
If so, may the flaming begin...

nature-
the healing process is going well although not as fast as I'd like it to be. I'm out of the healthcare vortex and am currently working on becoming a ladies man in Santa Cruz. I start school here soon and plan on an El Cap route sometime this summer-cause aid climbing is easy. Things are going well and I'm hoping to start free-climbing this fall, training next winter and then being back in sending shape for the spring 06 season. Until then I'm having to beat the ladies off with my walker. Thanks for the concern.
those that asked-
Oh yeah I fell onsight free soloing that route. My disclaimer though is that I had onsight free soloed another 5.9 that morning and had ons free soloed 10b in Josh the prior day. If you want to hear more spray just e-mail me. I'm happy to talk endlessly about myself.

10b vs 5.9
if i had to pick, i think i'd rather FS illusion dweller than N. overhang, but since i have done them both it can't be onsight, so nevermind...
