HEAT EXHAUSTION
New York, Shawangunks
A man (29) was leading the first pitch of Coexistence (5.10) on a hot summer day when he threw up and fainted. He was roped, and so was lowered to the ground, sprinkled, and sent to Coxing to soak. (Source: Brad Snyder)
(Editor’s Note: It is not known whether the heat of the day or the prospect of the difficult climb caused this climber’s problem.)
