New route

Was climbing a new line on a hill above Fanore, I pulled a rock off a ledge 5m off the deck, smashed myself in the mouth with it, fell backwards, my protection ripped, I sailed ground wards into Conors shoulder and then flopped face down onto the ground, according to my pain and injuries, thigh and ribs took the brunt, but my helmet stopped me cracking my forehead too. I was knocked out for 5 mins but then was very sleepy for next hour, Conor gave out to me for napping and made sure I was holding a hat to my chin to stem the bleeding, got flown to UHG in dramatic fashion and spent the night there, 2 cracked rib, 2 broken ribs and a few stitches on my chin. my ribs on one side are still sore a few months on.
