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

I am glad you are on the road to recovery and I hope you aren't hit with a huge bill for the helicopter. I know someone who go hit with a $35K air rescue bill. There is a company that offers insurance for $50 a year that might be of interest to others.

Cori,

Bill Fincher just told us about your accident. I hope you heal quickly and well and I'm glad to see that you are out of the hospital. Good luck with your surgeries and I hope you heal up for ski season!

Hi Barry,

Welcome to HST! Thanks for becoming a member so you can give Cori your well wishes
very considerate of you!

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.

So glad things weren't worse. Any ideas why the boulder moved? Were you just in the wrong place and the EXACT wrong time?
