TERREBONNE, Ore. (AP) — A 21-year-old rock climber from Virginia fell 150 feet while climbing at Smith Rock State Park without using a rope or other safety equipment.

Benjamin Schulman was taken by helicopter to St. Charles Hospital in Bend with life-threatening injuries after the fall late Sunday afternoon. ... Authorities say Schulman, of Alexandria, Virginia, was attempting to climb a section not usually used or identified as a climbing route when he fell. ... He then rolled another 100 feet down a steep hillside.

It's unclear if Schulman was an experienced climber, but he was camping with other climbers familiar with the park.

It took rescuers two hours to get him out of the park because of his remote location and the extent of his injuries.




Is this like a WHITE THANG?

Rock climbers are a rare breed.

And they are getting rarer.

Black children that aren't born bastards are a rare breed. No stopping that from going up.

I did it without the fall a couple times.

You should take up rock climbing CFM. And all those ropes and tackle are for pussies

LOL, Darwin vindicated! I love that the guy actually tried to catch him.

Possibly over confidence?

More like a young male thing. It's that age where they are immortal, they think. Hope he'll be okay.

Possible! But more likely: "Hey, hold my beer!"
