A New Zealand student has 'broken nearly every bone in her body' and had her left leg amputated after falling 24 metres while climbing in Yosemite National Park. 9News
Kiwi climber Anna Parsons, 21, is recovering in a California hospital after a brutal 24-metre fall from a well-known rock face in Yosemite National Park.
She had climbed into difficulties on Snake Dike after she missed a climbing bolt, which would have allowed her to safely attach herself to the rock face. Parsons said Anna's fibula bone "was sort of crushed into little pieces", while the talus bone in her ankle "fell out" and "was apparently missing somewhere on the mountain", because her leg had suffered "an open fracture with bones sticking out".
