Had a slip on the hill recently as well, pinged my knee late in the day and was faced with the prospect of spending the night for the first time. Had a sit down and something to eat cleared my head and decided to get of the hill and back to camp. Leg was completely locked out but managed to get down by limping and buttscooting.

The walk out to the hut the next day was pretty fun, took me about 2 hours to get in there and about 5 to limp out.
Bit of a bummer as it happened on the first day of a 4 day heli trip, but all part of the game I guess.

Hope the recovery goes well, had a pretty bad spine injury as a kid coming of my skater, they aren't much fun.
