Yikes! That's a wild way to get a souvenir from a hike. Glad he's recovering, though—mountain climbing can be brutal!

That sounds like a nightmare. I guess it's a reminder to always check your gear before a climb!

Talk about a rough trek! Glad he’s on the mend, though I wonder if he’ll think twice about hiking again.
