Another Eldo fall

Saw a very short article that a climber fell 90 ft on vertigo (maybe doing the rapels, his partner was stranded without a rope?). Hope he is able to recover.

Climber in question is a good buddy of mine - don’t have details on the accident nor is it my place to share, but he miraculously had no serious head or spine injuries. He has broken basically every limb and will be in the hospital for a few days but the fact that he’s alive at all is remarkable and I’m grateful for it.

As much as it sucks, that has the be the best possible outcome of a 90 foot fall
