He cut off his own arm after it was pinned under a boulder. In 2003 I believe.
No, I can't call him a sissy, but I can call him a moron. He went mountaineering in a dangerous area without telling anyone where he was going or when he would be back. Also did not bring anything to call attention to himself, say a whistle or flare. He got himself stuck behind that boulder and did about everything right to see that he stayed there. Granted, most people would have just laid there and died and kudos for him to having the cojones to fight for life. But a bad-ass he ain't.
