Summary[edit]
Natalie Lindeman fell while attempting the bypass route around Eaton Canyon Falls, resulting in a broken back.
Accounts[edit]
Analysis[edit]
Natalie's description of the incident location seems to correspond well with The Nub -- a class 4 move at the crux of the bypass route. If the incident occurred at this location, she would have fallen into the water course approximately 60ft upstream of the top of Eaton Falls.
