On May 9, 1989, she fell during a climb in Buoux, after forgetting to tie in, she fell 85 ft (25 m) into a tree, and was knocked unconscious, dislocated her left elbow and broke a bone in her foot. She had been training hard for the World Cup and had to stop competing for a few months to recover; she was devastated to miss the first World Cup in the sport. However, only six weeks after her fall, she was back climbing. ### References [1] [Half Dome, 1977](https://www.facebook.com/climbing.in.the.80s/photos/a.270388289694020/3475645099168307) [2] [https://www.climbandmore.com/climbers/lynn-hill/](https://www.climbandmore.com/climbers/lynn-hill/) [3] Portrait by [Dean Fidelman](/climber/1628/dean-fidelman), 1997 [https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr3uphIJ2Gy/](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr3uphIJ2Gy/) [4] Interview with [Natalie Berry](/climber/411/natalie-berry) for UKClimbing.com March 2017 [https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/features/lynn_hill_-_climbing_free-9151](https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/features/lynn_hill_-_climbing_free-9151)

[John Long](/climber/728/john-long): > I have been all over the world and have had the fortune of doing things with many special people, some famous, some anonymous. But the biggest little hero I’ve ever known is Lynn Hill. The rest of us are just holding her rope. [2] Hill has experienced only one major accident in her climbing career. On May 9, 1989, she fell during a climb in Buoux, after forgetting to tie in, she fell 85 ft (25 m) into a tree, and was knocked unconscious, dislocated her left elbow and broke a bone in her foot.
