a slip and ouch

Went climbing today again... It was fun, and we tried the tougher more inclined walls... finally managed to break into a sweat today, despite the air-conditioned environment. The climb was really tough. Couldn't grab on to most of the holes properly cos they were all so tiny and their shape made it difficult to place a good grip on. So much more of a strain in my arms and fingers than I've felt last week. But it's all good. Really had a great time.

We were packing up and talking when we heard this loud thud and the clanging of metal and the sliding rope. A gasp escaped from one of the girls in the group and it fell silent. Everything seemed to stop and everyone seemed to be holding their breath as they turned to look at the guy lying on the floor. He had fallen from the wall, presumably (by me at least) without a belayer. He seemed conscious as we were leaving... hope he's fine though. I guess one can never be too cautious, esp when dealing in sports like these.
