Had one like this at the gym. Seen a few actually, usually not much screaming with these, lots of endorphins going on. Do you have a point in trying to gross people out?

Glad to hear things turned out well. This is a uniquely distinctive injury and one I used in an educational setting with some case studies of mountain accidents. Just wanted to say thanks for posting up the info.

Here's a link to the news story. URL was here. Thanks for the follow-up info, Jake. And good job refuting the always-expected comments on these internet stories regarding the financing of the rescue. I'm glad to hear your friend is back on his feet and looking to return to climbing in the spring.
