Vantage Climbing Accident

Here are a few photos of the accident and Vantage this last weekend.  It looks like the person who was involved is going to be ok, but probably has quite a bit of recovery ahead of him.  Injuries included a broken hip and ribs.  The accident was most likely caused by the failure of a piece of gear.  I inspected and photographed the gear that broke and also shot photos of the accident location, but have refrained from posting them for now.  Cheers to the rescue folks out there, and everyone else who was willing to help out.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the victim.
