Summary[edit]
Broken hand on a downclimb at the end of the canyon
Accounts[edit]
After all the last rappels and finishing up the canyon with some creek walking there was a small downclimb where I slipped and spun. The spin was so majestic that I completed a 360 rotation and struck a rock with my hand. This resulted in a "boxers fracture" and I had to get surgery. Deeks creek is very slick!
