Climbing instructor hurt from rapelling.

denverpost.com/breakingnews…

interesting post... They don't give a lot of info on why she fell. They also did a poor job of explaining the difference between top roping and rapping.

Yeah, the post is somehow ambiguous (as usual :P), hope they will have a follow up later on.

Actually, they did quite a good job. Why do people expect the press to have an explanation good enough to satisfy an experienced climber/reader in experienced climber lingo. Most of their readers are not savvy in the lingo. They did make it clear she was descending and rapelling and the kids are attached in a different manor.

"...during a camp for grieving children"
Well, that just double sucks.

There was a lot of talk about the children, but, how is the instructor doing?

Let's hope for the best.
