I wish......that I had taken some pictures of all of the places in the snow where you stuck your hand and filled them with blood! :)

Re: I wish...You'd probably have filled up your memory card. It's a good thing we were going fast; the scent of all that blood might have drawn a griz!

Re: I wish...I guess it looks that way, but it actually happened when I fell on some rocks and braced myself with my hand. We had just descended a long snow slope, and I guess my boots were a little slick and I wasn't being careful enough. My camera also took a good whacking (it was in the pocket on the side against which I fell), but it survived despite the bangs and dents. Tough camera!

GnarlyHands and Head both bleed heartily when gashed. Make for great stories as long as no serious damage is done.

Re: GnarlyThat's pretty much exactly the way I feel!

Re: SmooveIf I were being careful, I wouldn't be having much fun!

Re: Nice ice axe strap BobI never liked the original color. But I'm a bit sloppy with the brush, huh?

Bloody Hell!You ought to be more careful. Congrats on surviving.

Re: Bloody Hell!Not really a bad fall, just an ugly outcome. The frame in my pack probably saved me from a hell of a back injury, though.

Re: Bloody Hell!I know your pain. I did the same thing while hiking down Pyramid Peak a couple of weeks ago. But with less blood.

Re: Bloody goreNo, but that little fall could have turned the day into one if I'd been a little less lucky!

Re: That proves it!Well, I got a bit of a sunburn, too, but not that bad. It probably wouldn't pass muster with certain people...

Mountaineering at its finest!Another great war story. Don't wash off your ice ax. Keep it as a sign of "manliness" for years to come. Great photo.

Re: Mountaineering at its finest!What I'm thinking of doing is sending a copy of this picture to each lady in the "Hottest Chick Alive" thread; I figure it's bound to impress at least one of them and score me some points. My wife doesn't approve, of course...
