We're doing jumping jacks on the ledge, 1800 feet above the valley.

One person cannot stop wherever from being damned, but I figure I would try.

I was pretty sure that the locals were saying, we're in this trap, we're driving down the dark.

At Patagonia, we're climbers and skiers.

We are surfers and anglers.

We're activists and dreamers.

Stories are the fabric of our shared culture.

My head hard we're put in and I have a fused ankle, a few sub-tailor joint.

And my right, I'm sorry my left ankle, they thought that they were going to have to fuse as well.

This is climber Tom Broxing.

So I had broken bones on all four appendages.

My hip was pretty badly sprained and my shoulders were pretty badly sprained too.

And right now he's probably got enough metal in him to set off an airport security machine.

For years afterwards I'd be sitting in a room and all of a sudden I would just get this sensation

like I was accelerating across the room and I was going to slam into the wall.

It would just hit me really quick and I would break out in a cold sweat and then it would pass.

In 1991, Tom survived a 200 foot fall.

A full rope length off the top of his 70 valleys Washington column.

To this day Tom is part of Pat, the rescuers who helped save his life.

Nobody is sure precisely what happened.

There are guesses and conjectures.
