Help Rome

Rome Ali is a fellow climber at Upper Limits Saint Louis. While climbing in Chatty, he fell and was severely injured. Rome's now facing a long road to recovery and our thoughts are with him. Please click on this link to donate if you can. Every dollar helps.


From a website setup by his brother:

While climbing in Chattanooga, Rome fell a little over 50 ft, suffering severe injury to his head and brain. He was airlifted to the nearest hospital, Erlanger, in Chattanooga. Rome has since had several surgeries to relieve the pressure on his brain. He is currently on a very long road to recovery. Because he will have minimal insurance coverage once he is awake and is transferred to rehabilitation, any support from his family, friends and fellow climbers to aid with his rehabilitative care costs would be much appreciated.

You can also sponsor a couple of climbers at this year's 24HHH comp at Horseshoe by offering a set amount per route climbed. Here's the FB link.
