ATTENTION!!!!!! This is Nic Garcia... as some of you may know as one of his best friends and fellow rope jumper... here is his update! First off... that report is retarted. That woman WAS NOT there when it happened and conditions were ideal. We're contributing the accident to either rigging error or gear malfunction to a line set becoming undone. CONDITION... Hecker is stable and doing quite well, however not awake and alert yet. He suffered a major head injury despite him wearing a ski helmet, pads and Hanwag boots. His screaming was typical of a severe head injury and even though he was awake he was not alert and aware to his surroundings, being unable to communicate with anyone or follow requests. They had to sedate him, intubate him and put a pressure sensor in his skull to monitor his progress. No draining of the skull was neccissary and his ICP is stable and the neurologist expects a full recovery with no brain damage. They need him a little more responsive before they remove the tubes, but this is expected to happen in the next few days or so. His leg and ankle suffered serious trama and have recieved one surgery with one more to go, worst case he'll have to have his ankle fussed. Due to concern of "secondary impact trama" Hecker cannot risk another blow to the skull because it may be instantly fatal, regardless of available help... meaning he has to take it easy for a long time and will need our support. Any mail can be sent to SINE INNOVATIONS 115 S. 34th Street Boulder, CO. 80305 ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS... please feel free to call or e-mail myself or Alex Gilmer, leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible... there are many concerned friends.

... Trial and error

Hey all, this is nic, if i met any of you in moab. i just thought i would add that the Wee1Top name came from the combination of an inhibiting kinase of CDK (Wee1) and the cool Topoisomerase enzymes 1 and 2 (Top1 and 2)which cut DNA and hold on for their life as supercoils and torsional stress swirl them around... they're just like us! I know, i'm a nerd, but at least we have an EMT everywhere we go now. and if hecker hasn't addressed the question about our anchors, they're a combination of about everything attempted to be equalized with so much stuff that you really have to see to make sense of. Also, if anyone knows how to get a hold of Russel, please let me or hecker know. thanks.
