Snow Nymph's Recent Climbing Accident

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Snow Nymph's Recent Climbing Accident

Post by maverick »

Fellow Members,

Our very own Snow Nymph had a 500 lb boulder roll over her while climbing near
Mammoth. :eek:
Luckily she had her SPOT, and SAR got her out safely.
From what has been written by a friend of hers this morning is all we know as of now:
Deborah wrote:

Her right arm is in a sling. She has one crutch to help her walk. One foot was injured
-- her left one I think, based on a comment about not being able to drive her FJ, which
has a standard transmission.

She posted a VERY short video of herself wheeling around a grocery store in their electric wheelchair.

Her smile is glowing, though I'm sure she is sore and likely still on pain meds.
Let's all give her our best wishes for a speedy and full recovery!!!! Go Snowy!! :nod:

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I second that -- I wish her a speedy recovery. Her website is amazing. I have traveled the Sierras vicariously through that website for years.

All the blessings of good health and a fast recovery on you, Snow Nymph!

Best wishes for as fast and pain-free recovery as possible, Snowy!
I don’t need a goal destination. I need a destination that meets my goals.

Snowy, best wishes to a speedy recovery, and, of course, speedy recovery means being back in the mountains soon.
