Kneeknocker...and headsplitter, I'd say. This reminds me of the Mountaineers Route on Whitney. I once broke two fingers coming down on it.

Re: Kneeknocker...Ouch. What happened? Rockfall, or just plain fall?
This wasn't all that bad, I have to say. You know you're golden when the talus is (seems) stable.

Re: Kneeknocker...It was a dumb accident. I slipped and on the way down I hit a boulder I was trying to grab. That didn't stop me. I just stopped because of the rough surface.
I had never heard of the "You're golden" expression before.

Re: Kneeknocker...Really? I feel like it's fairly common, at least around this neck of the woods

Re: Kneeknocker...One time I was descending the talus slopes
on the north face of Pyramid Peak in eastern
Nevada.
Luckily, I made it without mishap, and said
to myself ..by golly ... you must be SILVER!
There was an old silver mine nearby.
