Air Ranger Steve

March 27th, 2010

March 25th Steve House logged some frequent flyer mileage while leading a pitch roughly half way up the Greenwood/Locke (sp?) route on Mount Temple. He was climbing with Bruce Miller. He fell approximately 25 meters, hitting a ledge during the fall. He sustained moderate injuries: broken ribs, collapsed lung, stable fractures of several vertebrae, & his tailbone. He was taken by helicopter off of the mountain shortly after the fall as Bruce was able to call out for assistance. As of this posting, Steve is at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary recovering for a few days. He will not need any surgery, only rest time to heal his injuries.

    Best to Steve for a speedy recovery. Thankfully nothing worse (though this was certainly bad enough).

    Wow, moderate injuries? If I had that I would be laid up for a year.

    Heal well.
