I hope you're back on the rock soon. "Accidents in North American Mountaineering" would probably publish your story.

Wow!! You have some rather large testicles. In the future might I suggest lugging along a thin rope and some bail gear? I know climbing with a pack sucks but.... come on.

I am truly happy your are OK, some pretty incredible climbing. I don't think I could have down climbed that on my best day.

Glad to hear it all worked out ok, for the most part. At least you're able to tell the story!

Sounds like he has just a tad of experience with this sort of ballsy climbing.
