YYFY!!! (Read 2102753 times)

Got my long term, niggling in the back of my mind, boulder/micro project done on Friday, a couple of minutes before the rain set in for the winter.
proper content.

Fucked my wrist up about 3 weeks ago and haven't climbed / trained since. Was a right bastard as I'd just got the psyche back after a few months of inactivity and was about to dive into trying to get some power back.

Anyway, finally went to the walk in clinic at the Hallamshire yesterday as it is still niggling and not seeming to get any better. A quick check up and a couple of xrays later and they pronounced it probably ligament damage, certainly no cracks anywhere and that provided it doesn't make it worse I can pull on it.

Seeing as pulling straight down is one of the things that doesn't hurt at all, I can get back on the beastmaker without worrying that I'm doing more damage. YYFY!

Oh and I've just booked to stay at Maisonbleau with the whole Sharpe / Starfish family for next year. YYFY! (Nice one Neil).

Don't try to dampen my spirits!

SA Chris · October 06, 2011, 02:00:19 pm

Sounds good Jas. Just avoid going away somewhere where you need to do any hard mantels on that wrist.

D'oh!

Hoping to get to le Maison (or font at least) en famile next year as well. It's been too damn long!

I've got about seven months ~~for it to get better~~ to get loads of other injuries before then.

A week apart but two YYFY's for me - managed to get Huggy done on the Burbage boulders last week but even better I finally ticked the Armoured Car Traverse today! No idea on the grade (going from L->R) but pleased just to get it sent after dropping it so many times over the last two or three years.

boulderingbacon · October 23, 2011, 04:20:20 pm

Does it involve repetitive right hand slapping?

My big mouth. In agony with sprained shoulder joint. Fortunately it is just ligament damage etc as I thought I might have broken it so NNFN but YYFY. #thinkpositive

It has got a few slaps of the left hand.

Generally don't like using the left hand. Can't get the rhythm quite right.

Bit of a YYFY and a NNFN in one post...

YYFY - had an awesome week in El Chorro with some psyched peeps. Managed to (quite surprisingly) hit my target of F7b onsight (Fran Sinatra at Desplomilandia) and also quickyl ticked a really cool F7c at Tringulo Crag, also in Desplomilandia (Madre Salveje). Quite psyched for improving my onsighting and quick redpointing skills for next season.

NNFN - last night in El Chorro, a few beers to the worse I thought it'd be a great time to do some slacklining above the pool.

Beer & 15m slackline = Twisted knee :-( seems to have lossened up a bit today, but still hard to tell if I've done any permanent damage.

GCW · October 25, 2011, 12:49:28 pm

Don't have much luck with knees, do you?

Fultonius · October 25, 2011, 12:59:44 pm

It's the same knee. It's always going to be a bit at risk. It's one of those annoying things that it's been feeling *really* solid for about 6 months, so I rarely even consider it to be any worse than the other one. The main problem is that it still doesn't fully bend, so if you accidentally and forceably bend it, then it doesn't react too well...

I probably should take it a bit easier...

Maybe when drinking!! Alcohol does nothing for proprioception!

Word.

Ticked one my goals for the year. First 7C - keel. YYFY

Nice one Huwbert!

Went to Almscliff for the first time yesterday with a ridiculous number of excuses for being shit (3rd day on, bruised back, thin skin), came up with a totally insane sequence on The Keel involving fingertape on my right foot, then sprained my bad ankle in the footlock, then went through a fingertip. Even after that, the thought of having to repeat the 3 hour drive to Yorkshire somehow got me through the moves on my millionth attempt as the sun was going down and I hung dangling from the pocket. I was so surprised that I then fell off while trying to readjust.

Then I did it again, but dabbed.

Then I did it properly, and topped out.

Finally feel like all the pullups and levers with a plaster cast on my foot have helped my climb something! YYFY...

SA Chris · November 01, 2011, 11:50:09 am

nice one

Seb · November 01, 2011, 04:37:39 pm

Had the best climbing trip ever. Went to the Lake district and spent a session on the bowder stone which is amazing. I ticked a 7a+ in less than 10 attempts which is pretty damn good for me considering ive only climbed one 7b and I usually measure how long it takes me to tick something in weeks. Then on the way back down went to Raven Tor and ticked off a 6c I couldnt get close to earlier in the year without to much trouble.
