I think I've got a partial rupture of my A2 pulley?
It was aching for a few weeks after trying a route at Nesscliffe that involved torqued mono's on the now poorly finger. I don't remember any specific popping sounds from the offending digit at the time, or any other point, but i think the cumulative effect of an intense period of sport climbing (half a dozen low f8's since Easter and trying harder porjects) was the start of the problem.
Trying Predator again on sunday, and then bouldering in the cave last night has sent it over the edge and made my finger properly throw the dummie out the pram. Today's the first day it's hurt just doing normal things like changing gear in the car, so I figure i need to take it easy for a bit.
The reason for the question was that i noticed i was taking a fair few holds on Predator as back 3 open handed, and having been predominantly a crimp fiend since climbing regularly on Yorks lime, i figured this might be an opportunity to work on some weaknesses (back 2 strength) whilst rehabbing the busted finger.
