You were climbing like a beast this summer! How did you manage to get Golfers Elbow? I know a few people who have managed to hurt themselves this way. RICE is all well and good, but outside of the first few days its effects are very limited (there is academic evidence, google it). If you haven't seen a physio, do it. They will give you rehab exercises.
Any climbing that doesn't make it hurt.Sounds obvious, but I found it really helped to drop the intensity to super easy, cut out any moves that I knew would aggravate, then work very very slowly back up to harder climbing.Also, doing short sessions rather than long sessions seems to give the injury less chance to be aggravated.

See what works. Everyone is different, i can only tell you what worked for me...
I've only been climbing 3 years, and this year was the first year i started adding weights whilst i trained, and then both elbows just went boom
I've been walking for 39 yrs chris, some people think i could do it better
the longer they say to rest gives an indication of how much older they are
Reading and doing this (thanks again Tom) really made the difference for me in turning the corner having struggled with bad elbows for years.
