So I was out climbing in the Valley on Saturday and there was a climber injury on the East Butt of Middle Cathedral. I just wanted to see if anyone had any info on the climber and her status.

We were gearing up in the meadow when this happened. My partner is a doctor, so he went to see if they needed any medical help. I don't know the exact details, but he relayed that the EMTs had it under control. The girl was conscious, calm, and not feeling much pain (or in need of pain medications). She hurt her ankle, though we don't know the extent of her injury. In any case, she seemed to be okay.

Thanks for the update EJoe. She was so vocal about calling for help, but was so quiet when we got to the base of the climb, so that had me worried. Glad to hear she seems to be doing alright!

Just talked to a friend of the climber, she is doing well in her recovery. She also says YOSAR was incredible.
