Heard about a "rock climbing" accident in Rock Canyon (UT) on the radio this morning. Supposedly short fall, minor head and back injuries, possible harness misuse. Anyone out there heard more details?

Well,like I always say.... if you're gonna forget to double back and not wear your helmet....do it while S&R is training just around the bend.

does anyone know what wall they were climbing on? Was it a harness that wasn't doubled back? I was climbing in the canyon at the time and saw all of the emergency vehicles going up and down the canyon.
