Following my mission up Fingers Ridge, this monday Dave and Johnathon went to have a crack at it by the same route. However, it seems that they may have gone a bit off route, as Johnathon took a massive winger (“Sillhouetted on the sky”), and fell about 7 m above his gear, bouncing off the mountain on the way down. Smacked his head under his helmet (big concussion & red stuff), and fractured his pelvis. Is in hospital now, though prognosis is very good.
Dangerous things these hills. Play safe people.
