Description:

odd climbing up a narrow corner on horrible missouri slimestone = TONS O' FUN This was where veteran climber Duncan fell and broke his arm on a lead climb in about 1978. He had time to say "OH SHXX!" then twist around like a cat so he would not fall on his back. I believe that he grabbed a rock hold, which then came off in his hands, leaving him grasping air.
