indeed. This Boney M track made me smile - a clear citation from "Touching the Void"; those guys, they surely nave a fine humour feeling.
Hope his recovery will be fast.

second only to"touching the void" thank you for posting.
A great reminder to stay vigilant. Also, super inspiring how they cleaned up their own mess. If or when the time comes, I hope I can muster similar mettle.
This video is covered in detail and analysed by Will Gadd on his blog. It also includes a very lengthy response to the discussion by Ed Warren, the injured climber. Very worth reading and going through the comments, as well as Ed's response

From personal experience trying to crawl and walk through snow on a broken ankle, I can recommend splinting with two ice axes (once on flatter terrain). The head sticks below the boot and makes a pretty good artificial foot, and if you bind it tightly below the knee it takes a great amount of weight off the ankle.
does anyone know what they were climbing?
Wow..thanks for sharing. Nice to see a great self rescue in challenging conditions.
They were putting up a new route in the Snowy Range, WY.
Veronika, I would guess it is in the Snowy Range.
