I hear an up-in-coming film director is looking for a climber to rig some people on the side of a cliff so they can shoot nerf gunz at eachother...

Read this thread on Super Topo about the dope-running plane that crashed in Yosemite in 1977.

supertopo.com/climbers-foru…

It's about 1600 replies long over the course of 7 years now. If you can suffer through it, with all of the sh!t talking and BS, you will be rewarded with some very cool stories and pictures.

Spoiler alert, the OP still hasn't finished the book yet.

Good luck staying sane while you're healing.

This presents a problem, because I'm a terribly non well-rounded person who doesn't do much but work and adventure outdoors. I've only lived in CO for a few months, and have climbed every free day I've had. But now I can't, and I'm loosing my mind with boredom. Anyone have any ideas? Cool stuff to see. Museums? Restaurants. cool hikes that are relatively flat and walking boot/cane friendly?
I would gladly trade you injuries... Weeks are better than quite a few months, leaning towards a year from my tib/fib fracture. And that on the footsteps from shoulder surgery last year that resulted in eight months of down time.

But to answer your question... I bought a guitar and learning to play. It occupies my time quite nice.
