i agree with pt. i cannot believe what people are writing in this thread. after an accident like this, we should be offering sympathy and compassion. it blows my mind that people feel that it is appropriate to question the experience of a climber that they don't know, or that they would trivialize injuries hurt, and are going to keep bryce away from activites he loves for quite awhile. you people should be ashamed of yourselves - there is no excuse for that kind of behavior.
there is nothing much to learn from this accident except as a reinforcement - it has happened many times, and it'll happen many more. rather than monday morning quarterbacking this, just keep it in mind and remember to pay attention to the ends of the rope. no more analysis needed. these accident discussions by folks not involved with the incident have always struck me as ghoulish. read ANAM, and call it day.
best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery bryce, and its good to know he has a family that cares so much about him.

UPDATE ON BRYCE'S FALL
Bryce has been trying to recover, and I just havent posted in awhile so I wanted to give ya'll an update on his health, his wrist and his left foot in doing great!!! However, his doctor isnt doing is job...when bryce fell he crushed his left heel, and when they operated something when terribly wrong, and now the metal that they put in his foot is begining to like eat away at his skin, and he might loose his foot, his doctor isnt preforming as he should due to the fact that bryce doesnt have insurance...But anyway Ill let yall know what happens lets hope for the best

Christina, sorry to hear about your bro's foot. I'll say a prayer for him. We all wish you the best.
With every bad situation that happens, we need to learn (all of us) how to prevent it from happening again. The same almost happend to me once. My wife was lowering me off a route and when I was about 40 feet from the bottom she says, " do you know you're almost out of rope?". I look down and see that she's 5 feet away from the end with no knot!!! It was my fault because she was new to climbing at the time. I'm not a good teacher sometimes but I LEARNED A LESSON THAT DAY. ALWAYS TIE A KNOT AT THE END!!!
My prayers are with your bro, tell him good luck....

What is causing the problem and what can the doctor do about it? Metal is inserted often. What has happened here to cause the problem. Just curious to know so maybe others can be more informed if they are in similar situations.
Hope things get better soon :)

how about an inattentive partner???
tie the end of the rope into the rope bag or put a knot in it.
