Thanks everyone !
Yes, snowshoes are a lot of fun in the winter and don't require as much skill as skis. The thing to remember is to avoid stomping on the skiers' tracks, if you can. They hate that

On a similar note. The guy who took the infamous fall on Captain Hook at Suicide a few years ago and sustained a neck injury is back climbing again. Rob, you meet the T-man (left guy in the foto) at Josh this past Turkey Day weekend. Anyhow, cheers to our comrades and to the advances in medical sciences that can help with some incredible recoveries.

Simple version; he fell part way up the 2nd pitch of Captain Hook, the gear pulled, he landed on his belayer, knocking her unconscious, and then he fell the remaining ~100’ to the ground The fall broke his helmet and his neck. Luckily, Clark Jacobs saw the whole thing from the base of Hernia (a few feet away) and provided first aid within a nanosecond, and as Guy said basically saved his life. The belayer sustained a concussion and a broken cheek bone and some other contusions. As I understand, when he hit the belayer it popped the belay anchor, so she was extremely lucky to stay on the belay ledge.dskoon wrote:Is there a link to that story?
