Summary[edit]
One of the members in our party, a very experienced canyoneer suffered what seemed like a rolled ankle - that later turned out to a broken tibia. This occurred near the half way mark in Muir due to loose rock. She was able finish with assistance to carry on through lower Eaton and hike out.
