Ooops.

Climber hospitalized after 15-foot fall

'BOULDER (AP) - A climber is recovering from hip and leg injuries after falling about 15 feet at Eldorado Springs State Park.

Boulder County sheriff's officials say a 20-year-old man was climbing with his brother. Both are from North Carolina.

The man was belaying down the rock face. Sheriff's officials say the man didn't realize that he and his brother hadn't tied a knot in the end of the belay rope, which slid through his climbing hardware, causing him to fall.'
