Hoping for a healthy recovery, Rick. If you need a good PT who'll make you do all your exercises, I've got the number of one on the East Side...

Only met him in passing a couple of times, but that sounds pretty painful. I've spent a lot of time in casts / air boot / braces / etc. myself. Thinking positive thoughts for you Rick

Definitely glad it wasn't worse, wish you a speedy recovery Rick! The trails and canyons in CA won't erode quite so quickly for the next few months

Experienced climbers don't like rappelling cos that's when you've got the least control, and I agree with them. Glad you're alive Rick and heal up quick!

Except in this case they were canyoneering, Rick's favorite hobby. And there, it's pretty much all about the rappels.

I normally feel maudlin about posting "best wishes" on SP, but... best wishes Rick, you are too nice a guy for injuries. Considering how many miles you have put in, you've beaten the odds way better than the rest of us.

Oh no! Damn Rick - so sorry to hear about this. Please heal properly before you get some crazy ideas to attack hills and holes again.

Look on the bright side; I haven't been able to keep up with Rick since 2006. If he visits the local Mtns in 2011, maybe I can show him around without feeling embarrassed.
