Your write takes seconds to check but can get complacent especially when in a hurry just a reminder to slow down check

I cant complain about recovery i could of easily been killed but even more likely paralysed. I would like to climb again but im probably a year away from that and 51 so im getti g on a bit climbed most of my career on spurs just a fliplne i had a second rope on me if i had put that round the trunk beforei would of been ok . Well live and learn .

I honestly dont know my other injuries were more severe and was on a lot of drugs for a while so never really had rhat much thought into it. i will have look to see if can find it but i think i threw it out so may never know. Did like the helmet seamed a lot lighter than other helmets

These pictures wher taken weeks later when got my hair cut dont know why my helmet came undone

Was cutting trunk down in 3 or 4 peices to limt damage felling it came down on mainline to wher i was going to fellout first chunck

Backs healed although much reduce mobility just had surgery to reattach tendon on left shoulder awaiting surgery on right. will be in sling for 6 weeks then cannot lift anything heavy for another six weeks a year full recovery

Nothing falud best guess is i clipped onto my tool strop have notch lojing to strop that held for a while
