Narrative

While scaling a rock off of a ledge on the pillar the rock twisted and contacted employee's scaling bar causing the bar to contact EE's right arm and overextended EE's elbow. There was a discrepancy in thought as to the extent of the injury, however, it does appear there may have been a tear.
