Snow for the Euros.

Horror movie stuff there Peds.

I had one bad fall a long time ago which capped my climbing endeavors but nothing like yours. Heal fast and strong.

**bobinch** · 11-24-2018, 10:50 AM

Jesus! Lucky you’ve already got a missus...

Tell us what hospital you’re in and we’ll send wine (or stronger!)

**wyeaster** · 11-24-2018, 10:57 AM

wow glad you are still among the living

**John_B** · 11-24-2018, 12:05 PM

Shit Peds. I hope you are up and moving soon. I'm glad that worked out as well as it did.

**ClarkleberryFinn** · 11-24-2018, 12:17 PM

Damn peds! Glad you're still here to tell the tale. Heal well!

**grinch** · 11-24-2018, 12:41 PM

Fuck!! That tale got the adrenaline going. Can only imagine the intensity. Glad you’ll be ok. Could’ve been soooo much worse

**subtle plague** · 11-24-2018, 02:03 PM

Holy fuck. Ouch.

That's why I stick to bouldering and sports climbing.

Many thanks for all the kind words dudes. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions since, but really I can only be positive about the whole thing. Why be upset that you nearly died when you can be happy that you didn't?

Angry geology is everywhere, dude! Don't think you're safe just because you're only ten meters off the ground!

Lung busting up to Mont Gelé

Jesus Christ, Peds. Take it easy for awhile, guy! I love your writing style, by the way.

**::: :::** · 11-25-2018, 09:01 AM

Get better peds
We’re glad you arrested somehow and were lifted to emergency care

**gimpy** · 11-25-2018, 12:15 PM

Holeeeeee shit dude!!!!
Glad yer still with us.
Angry geology is some classic shit n your write up was absolutely riveting.
Hopefully I’m wrong, but that fall sounds like some PTSD inducing shit n I suspect your brain might not feel so comfy with exposure for awhile. Heel up man n feeling blessed to b alive is damn straight+++

**ArchieD** · 11-25-2018, 03:55 PM

Feel like my words are pretty inadequate in the face of such holy-shit-near-death antics, and such fiery, adrenaline pumping prose. But glad to be able to read it dude.

**Ripzalot** · 11-26-2018, 02:09 AM

**Mike Pow** · 11-26-2018, 05:17 AM

Just signed up for the Gran Fondo Stelvio and came across this vid of Markus Eder doing it on skis 😳

**alpinevibes** · 12-01-2018, 08:07 AM

Shit Peds, that's insane! Will make some turns to radiate healing energy and expedite your recovery!

Had a nice view of the Andorran resorts from 10,000m last week. Peaks were looking gooood!

Opening day at Courmyeur. Only Plan Gabba, Yula and Arp open for skiing.
Coffee and skiing (that which was open was excellent) . Piste was gripy but not hard. Off was Ankle to Knee of light on a firm, or on some aspects crunchy base.
Not enough base yet in the trees, but sticking to more open glades avoids too much rock/tree hopping.
Arp to Yula there is a new piste been smashed in to the steep face.
The ancient lifts are going to be more stretched than ever.
Dropping off the back of Yula was great, open and at noon almost untracked.
Saw a few track all the way out to Zerotta, that's either a sled pickup or 10km walk!
