POP!! The blood drained out of my face, Chris was on the ground grabbing his knee grimicing in pain, fuck. “Dean, I can’t walk, he was sitting upright rubbing his knee, we were in the Boulder’s behind Camp 4, do you want me to get S.A.R.? “No!!, please can you help me get back to the car? I carried him on my back though Camp to the car and drove to the Hospital I could feel what was going though his mind, 19 years old, the great American hope, just signed a new contract, and now. The Doctor at the Valley Clinic knew who Chris was, the Surgeon in Santa Cruz would soon find out, torn ACL and Meniscus, months of down time, and then who knows. I decided to hangout in Santa Cruz for a while after his surgery to see if I could help. I would carry him on my back again, this time to the beach where we spoke of life, the universe and everything in it, we took field trips to Museums in SF to educate ourselves about all things, Art. His recovery was rapid and within a few months Chris was moving vertically again, “I feel good, but I’m not there yet, still haven’t just” gone for it? “Yeah, I’m still thinking about that day, i want to thank you again for, I cut him off, thank me when you’re back. Hey do you have any more of those, pills? “Hahahahah, give me a ride to Panther Beach, I’ll trade you some, bring your camera” It was a perfect California day, the beach was empty, we bouldered barefoot and spoke of our plans for the future. I needed to get back to the Valley and he was going to a trade show in Europe, the tide was coming in, almost time to more on I thought. Chris decided to try one more boulder problem before we left, it was an simple climb (if you use ALL of the holds) that began in a dark cave. Sharma grabbed the starting holds and began to rhythmically rock back and forth, his eyes focused on the top, i drew the camera to my eye and focused on the future, a wave crashed into my feet, he launched, aaaahh」2月24日 4時30分
