Rockclimbing!!

Ye i damaged my finger a month or so ago holding a 2 finger hold, felt the twitch or whatever go all the way up my arm :( Its better now but still with pressure it hurts. They take so long to heal.
 
Well, i injured my arm this morning at the gym and forgot about it in the day. Tried climbing tonight and did about 6 climbs and it started twitching - left as to not damage it even more as it hurts quite a bit now. co-codamol and bed for me
 
A QD bone, so I've now got the excuse to use the two racking prowire krabs on it therefore needing to get two ultra O krabs to rack my nuts on! This was prompted by buying DMM offsets only 3 weeks ago!

My cupboard of shiny kit is getting very full, although it does look cool!

A few more climbing sessions done and almost all blue roots and some grey conquered. I had a nice fall off a grey a couple of days ago and landed funny on my ankle but all good now and been earlier.
Where i climb blue is 6a-6b, grey 6a+-6c. I think 6b puts me in the V4 sort of territory. A few more greys and I think I'll be at V5 soon, maybe trying for one of the easier yellows (6b+)
 
Any of you in the SW? The Barn at Tavistock has their Neon Block comp on tomorrow night, fun rope swings into problems, live DJs, UV lights and a great party atmosphere.

I've got a similar injury at the moment. I can climb easy routes but any thing even slightly crispy or that requires just a couple of fingers is right out for now :(
 
what does everyone call the move when youre up on a problem and your leg starts shaking? had a debate about this yesterday as i call it disco leg, another guy called it elvis leg and another calls it the sewing machine leg lol

Yea man it sucks, however past few sessions its been way better for me! i think climbing and working it a bit really helps the healing rather than none atall. 2 months i have had it though and only now its getting better!
 
Thought I'd take a peak into this thread (see what I did there ;)).

Started bouldering about a year ago now (end of Feb-ish) after doing pretty much sod all exercise apart from walking since I left Year 11 a decade ago. If anyone knows it I go to The Climbing Station in Loughborough. Currently climbing at around a V3 maybe pushing V4 level at least going off the problems in this place.

Really enjoying it :D
 
It hasnt stopped raining here in snowdonia for at least 6 months lol. Im itching to get ooutside again! i feel like ive finally made progress now to, i been climbing around 10 months or so now but was stuck on the v4 ish grade doin a few v5 problems for a while (like most blokes do ive been told just because of pure power). However now im climbing harder grades, real crimpy ones etc which i couldnt before so im loving it!
