There are countless ways to injure yourself on Tumbledown Mountain, whether you try to finagle your way up the loose rocks of the Chimney (which I believe is off limits, but is still traveled), scrambling up the various rock faces, bounding across the summit rocks, or technical rock climbing on the big alpine walls.

Apparently yet another person has found a way to get into trouble up there.

News is still a bit sketchy, but there's a high-angle rescue going on this morning to extract a man who fell down the face of the mountain sometime yesterday. Given the description of the accident, I'm assuming he was rock climbing, but I'm not sure.

Getting injured in th wilds is something none of us plan on, but stuff happens. We should always be prepared with a few "extras" in our packs--even if it's only a short day hike--like food, water, fleece, headlamp, rain gear, garbage bag, first aid kit.

I'm hoping this guy had the proper gear with him to spend a comfortable night out despite his injuries. And I'm hoping they get him down okay and and that he isn't hurt too seriously.

We'll see...
