Rock climbing fun, or is it??????
An 18-year-old on a school climbing trip had an eight-metre fall cushioned by a classmate today while climbing Castle Rock near Te Awamutu, 26km south of Hamilton. His fall was softened to some extent by landing on one of his classmates! A Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance spokesman said "The climber had back pain which was being assessed.
His classmate was flown to hospital with lesser injuries."
