Momentální jednička rankingu svěťáků v boulderingu Korejec Chon Jongwon po posledním závodě ve Vailu v USA zůstal v Coloradu a v Rocky Mountain National Park dal na flash jedno 8Béčko, slavný Jade 8B+ přelezl na 3. pokus a nakonec skončil s rozbitou hlavou.

Vyfotil ho vzápětí Eddie Fowke (z The Circuit Climbing), který to zveřejnil na Instagramu viz níže. V nemocnici mu ránu sešili šesti štychy a jak se zdá z další fotky, Chon bude v pohodě.

Thinking of my friend @chonjongwon96 tonight. Walking a cliff edge path between boulders a hold broke and pitched him 20 feet off a cliff. Luckily his years of bouldering experience saved him from major damage. He's incredibly lucky to get away with some nasty cuts. Might be a rest day tomorrow! #thecircuitonlineiscoming #thecircuit3iscoming #bouldering #walking #becarefulkids #rmnp #ifscofficialphotographer

He's alive! @chonjongwon96 is back from hospital. 6 stitches later and we're trying to talk him out of climbing tomorrow! A huge thanks to the Canada crew for the awesome ice cream cake! #thecircuitonlineiscoming #thecircuit3iscoming #bouldering #becareful #ifscofficialphotographer
