Actually I got very lucky. I was moving to a spot to get a better picture of the falls when I slipped on the mud, tumbled backwards, bounced off the cliff face and landed on my back in a bunch of broken branches, Somehow missed the rocks.  Ended up with a cracked thumb, bruised thigh, a scratch on my face, bruised ribs and a badly wrenched neck.

All in all got away easy. Upset the wife and Sadie a great deal though .

J said she had enough time during the fall to say 3 OhMyGods before I hit bottom  :canadian:    Sadie was on lead at the time, in a sit, apparently as soon as I fell she jumped to attention and stared at J with a very concerened look. J quickly tied her to a tree, then came to help me. After I managed to climb out she was still sitting on high alert and cried and cried as I went over to hug her.  :-* :-*

Apparently I didn’t yell or swear on the way down ,, It’s quite remarkable how many things go through your head in such a short period of time  :crazy:

very sore today  :hurt:
