Last night we hiked up Rock Canyon to do some climbs at the Galaxy wall--Devon, me, Bryce, Cameron, and Dick. One of the climbs Devon led and then Cameron top-roped it. He came to a big slab which made for a good hold, so he grabbed and pulled down on it. The slab, probably the size of Devon's upper body, came lose tumbled down the wall. No one was in the way of the big slab, thankfully, but Devon was victim to some of the smaller rock debris that came down with it. Cameron got a little scraped up, but he was okay too. Devon had a pretty good split that required 5 staples to close. It was really cool to watch the procedure. Devon got a little light-headed after they were through, so he had to lie there for a few minutes. LOL.
Oh, and I saw a snake. It was so close to Bryce and me; probably two feet away. I was scared but no one else was, so I had to sort of ignore it until it slithered away.
I know it's pretty tough to see, but this is probably 40 minutes after it happened. It took us a while to clean the routes, pack up our gear, and hike down to the cars. Bryce cleaned the route that Devon and Cameron had climbed and knocked down all the loose rock to make it less dangerous.
Check out the chunk of hair--sick!
This was after the staples, but before Devon washed the blood out of his hair. You can't really see the staples and for some reason you can't click on the picture to make it bigger. Oh well.
