Just caught wind that there was an accident yesterday morning.

Read SuperTopo thread here.

I pulled a couple pieces off a climb in that vicinity today. If any of it belongs to the injured party, I'd really like to get it back to them. Any info would be awesome.

Word from Logan Swartz is that a guy decked on Bear's Reach from 40' up on the first pitch. He was pulling on a flake after the 5.6 runout and pulled two of his three pieces when he peeled. He landed on the flat, sandy area and not the surrounding talus. Climbers on Scimitar had a cell phone and called 911. Apparently, he may just end up with broken ribs and a bumped noggin. His belayer also got smacked in the head by a cam that ripped. Neither were wearing helmets.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
