My friends were joking because I had lunged and hit a rock, knocking myself out, on the same route 1 year before. That time I had fallen, unconscious, about 25' and landed on the top of a waterfall.
Suddenly I slipped on a banana peel that had been thrown down from the rock climbing area above. I can't imagine a weirder place to slip on a banana peel. Probably 10 people go through that canyon a year, at most. Probably the climbers thought, "well, it's biodegradable!"
I'm not hiking any high points with you. Prolly attract lightning.
That was the first time I ever heard of someone actually slipping on a banana peel. You always see it in cartoons, but never in real life. I guess we have an exception!
