Breaking News!

A few days ago, we had a slight accident. On a climb at Apremont, aptly named, 'Marginal', the padding coverage was, shall we say, marginal at best. Nora blew off of a high right heel hook, putting her in a crazy spin, with her left hand taking the brunt of the rotation on a rock that you can see in the background of the first picture (with the shoe on it). She ended up fracturing her radius. The hospital in Melun was quite nice, and they took care of everything in a very French manner.

Nora is in good spirits, she's coming out to Canche aux Merciers today with the crew, but she will be in her full-arm cast for 6 weeks.

    Hey Nora, so sorry about your arm! You are a trooper. Good thing you guys like to take climbing vacations to Font and not Hueco or Joe's. There's still so much to do, see and eat there! I'm wishing you the best (and Mazzy, too).

    Actually Rebecca said that. But those are my sentiments exactly. With this latest break, I think Nora is the most extreme climber I know. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery ... did I read somewhere that 1 glass of red wine a day helps with that? Possibly.

    Ouch! That's a bummer. At least you still have one free hand for espresso / chocolate / pastries!
