Lost Tent, Gear, and Rope on Jagged
I know this is a long shot, but I figured I’d try in case anyone is headed out that way. I injured my ankle rappelling down from the ledge above chimney 2 on Jagged yesterday and had to be airlifted out of the basin down there. My 60M rope is still attached to the summit anchor and my tent (along with other stuff in the tent like my 100L pack, sleeping bag, etc.) and Ursack hung up next to it are still in No Name basin near the end of the trail and where the creek becomes a waterfall. If anyone is planning on doing Jagged in the near future and has the capacity to retrieve some or all of these, please message me. Thank you!

Man, that sounds rough. Glad you’re ok!
The summit is a source of power. The long view gives one knowledge and time to prepare. The summit, by virtue of the dizzying exposure, leaves one vulnerable. A bit of confidence and a dash of humility is all we get for our work. Yet to share these moments with friends is to be human. C. Anker

Andrew,
Sorry to hear about your accident. 5 of us were near the Stormy Gulch area and saw the SAR helicopter come by a couple of times. Glad that you are, "relatively" ok. Wishing you a full recovery.

Thanks everyone. Mainly just taking it easy now back home as it was confirmed I have a broken ankle, lol I’ll probably use this downtime to finally write another trip report 
Re: Lost Tent, Gear, and Rope on Jagged
Glad you’re Ok! I might be out that way in the next few weeks depending upon the weather. I’ll keep you in the loop. If we go we can definitely see what we can manage to carry out.

Glad you're typing and telling about it instead of another worse outcome. Get well Andrew.
I hope somehow you get your things back!

Re: Lost Tent, Gear, and Rope on Jagged
While Jagged is moving up on the list of peaks I'm considering, it's very unlikely to happen for me prior to next summer at the earliest.
But I'm glad to hear that you're ok. Hopefully in the course of time - once you've had time to heal and process everything - this will just be a dramatic story you can tell at get together's where you and Geo and others can debate about who had the most spectacular wipeout or the most luxurious airlift, lol.
But for now, just get yourself plenty of rest and then work on rehab when the time comes. Hope you make a comparatively speedy recovery!
