From the swelling and echimosis in the picture I think the fibula fracture was the least of Bob R's ankle injuries.

Yes Bee thanks for putting the broken ankle x-ray into context. The point, well taken I might add, is to never glissade with crampons on as they might snag the snow and snap a bone like a twig. Until Bob R posted that warning along with that picture and x-ray I had never been told of that danger.It was a warning and visual that many of us can learn from.
