Climber falls 1000 feet...and survives!!!

A fellow in Scotland who loves to climb fell 1000 feet down a mountain but it has not deterred him from climbing as he has plans to climb another major mountain very soon:

Wow, he is very lucky he didn't seem to suffer any serious injuries. He must love the sport to keep doing it. :)

That's impressive. He must have a high tolerance for pain if he can walk around with his back broken in three places. It also seems too good to be true. I hope he's more careful in the future. This doesn't seem like the type of fall most people would survive a second time (or even a first, really, but...).
