3 out of 5 stars karabin bouldering accident

I sent the problem first try with my foot on right hold. If you fail to catch the ledge you may fall on your back onto the pads since your start foot is hooked on right hold. I did the double dyno version and that's where the story begins. The canyon was out for blood that day my friends. Deceptively beautiful, but with vicious teeth gnawing at the flesh of its visitors. I held the big catch and on the swingback to put my foot onto the start hold, my hands slipped and somehow caused my right heel to lock onto the start hold. I flipped upsidedown and the heel pulled me away from my spotters and my crash pad. I hit my head first then my body sprung viciously slapping the ground breaking my right leg femur in 7 places. You guys didn't hear all of that screaming that day? Doing good now. 3 months no climbing. Beautiful canyon but glad to be home in AZ. I will be back next summer to boulder again in LCC.
Rock on! Marty Karabin
