He is stable with no neck, spine or head injuries, awake and in good spirits.
Massive thanks to the film crew, paramedics and the teams from Mountain Rescue, Air Ambulance and Coastguards who helped get Gee safely off the mountain. We will keep you updated on his progress, but for now please send your healing vibes to the Gee man.

Shit! Heal up fast Gee
That must have been a massive crash. Wish Gee a speedy recovery
That’s a bad one, hope he can make a full recovery. Or if not full recovery, then at least a badass Fabien Barel style short leg and booster shoe.
Heal well!
Sounds like a heavy impact, send Gee healing vibes.
Oof! Sounds like a big one. Get well soon Gee.
