Ditto. Lloyd had posted this a couple years back, I'd never heard of anything and it had stuck in my melon.Without belaboring the tale, by pulling an overhang that was difficult for me, I cracked a vertebra between my shoulder blades. Never heard of that to avoid it, or to know that's what had happened until days later going to an emergency room.
Contributing factor must be my age, which may have been a case of osteoporosis also unknown to me to avoid in such case. I think now that sixty should be considered a general time to give it up, no matter how much older someone out there is still at it. I didn't start until being covered by Medicaid, and now a lot more than climbing is over.

Bill, in your post, I can't tell what was meant to be quoted, and who you were trying to quote?
Many more of us are curious about the final word on this...

Thanks, that's helpful. So he wasn't even climbing any more? Interesting, I had no idea.

He was still climbing. My understanding is that he took some time off after his back injury. The first time I met him he was taking pictures for his online guide and he mentioned that he injured his back and his doc recommended that he not climb. I saw him climbing routes on a TR solo system fairly frequently ~9 months after that first encounter.
