Climber hurt in Greymouth
(From Our Own Reporter) GREYMOUTH, March 28. A Greymouth youth broke one leg and the ankle of the other when he fell 100 feet down a cliff while practising rock-climbing on the hillside behind Smith Street, Greymouth, at 4.45 p.m. today. He was Graham Robert Love, aged 16, of Marsden Road, Greymouth. His condition was satisfactory late yesterday. He was climbing with a companion at the time and his fall is believed to have been caused by what was described as a malfunction of the climbing ropes.
