Tony Climbing
a corner in Lakeside, Duluth
This was the same wall that myself, Jon
Swanson, Dave Wilson and Dave Sill fell from when I was
8 years old (they were all 10 and up to 12 yrs old). We
all fell when I started a down-climb from the edge and
the top kid (I think Dave Wilson) fell on us and we all
cascaded down nearly 50 feet onto a sharp-rock scree field.
The impact was something, but the pile-drive of 4 boys
on top of me was something else entirely. Holy mackerel
and God Almighty!!! And the scree field was not very nice
to slide down in a heap of wounded young boys...I cried
all the way home, and stopped when Dave and Jon told me
to "suck it up and hold it inside" when I went
into my house. Judy saw all the blood on my shirt and
called Karma Swanson, and Karma called Janet Wilson, and
then all holy hell broke loose. Jon had a really badly
broken collar bone (clavicle), so it was good that our
Moms called each other. Sheesh. What were we thinking?
Suck it up...shit. |
