When Ryan said "telephone" I heard "cell phone", figuring there was no other type of phone that could be handed to John. No mention of the telecom. I am positive that Ryan said a piece of webbing broke, that no part of the rock broke, and the bolt was still there. Of course, considering Ryan's condition at the time he was probably honestly mistaken. I'm also positive the sheriff said the rock shattered and pulled the bolt out. It's good to get that part straight.

Now this is funny, and made my day in fact. The fact that you are explaining this to NZ proves that you have never met him!
