Instead of the typical happy post of where did you climb this weekend I was wondering how many of us got hurt this weekend? Personally I was climbing at HCR on the Far East Side and when my climbing buddy got to the top a rock the size of a softball broke off and fell 60 or so feet and hit me in the Right shoulder blade, I still didn’t let go of the break line. It didn’t break anything but bruised up a bunch of muscle and other important stuff.

I walked around in my ice climbing boots for a while and got the starts of a blister. I can't wait for more ice.

I have forearms covered in scratches from some nice bouldering top outs and a lower back muscle strain, I think it was from taking some 10-15 footers repeatedly, don't you love trying to figure out sequences with your feet above bolts?

I survived a head-on collision with a Ford F-350. Then I hurt my rib snowboarding.

Was walking around barefoot at the crag knocking my little toe nail off when I kicked a rock. I think the rock got mad because the next route I did I fell while half over a roof with a lip and hit my upper jaw on it. So, really I just got into a fight with a mountain and the mountain won. :roll:

I fell off an ice toprope and somehow thumped myself behind the ear with my hammer. More damaging to my ego than my head.

I got a scratch-wound on my chin from the imprint of the stitching in my airbag as it exploded while playing chicken against a larger truck on I-70 in the snow. :shock:

The worse pain is due to arrive once my insurance company realizes that BOTH vehicles are totaled.
