150 kilogram chunks dissolved in bouldering

A rock climber weighing 150 kilograms fell on his leg in the Little Rock Canyon (Utah) bouldering area. The boulder came loose during an attempt to climb it.

Boulders hit climbers on the leg

Broken calf, laceration...

Well, the climber was lucky in misfortune. It was "only" his leg buried under the boulder. It's not quite as dramatic as in Movie "127 Hours", but certainly also quite painful: Broken calf, nasty laceration, Achilles tendon rasped through and so on.
