I'm still going for ganglion cyst.

If so, I recommend the traditional treatment of hitting it with a bible. (not really, but would like to see what would happen out of morbid curiosity)

Anyone interested in the plans for the cragx Bridge, the info is here:

Including the design drawing of the new build:

Which looks pretty cool

Hallux Rigidus is stiff big toe, this is a lump on his little toe. I'm still going for ganglion cyst. Keep us in the loop #amateurpodiatryclub 

Yes.
But you can get a “bone spur” on any joint. I think I was told it’s most common on the big toe, because it takes a lot of punishment/use over a life time and carries a lot of load (bit like hips, knees).

Might put a side bet on Corn. Corns can get sore despite the daft name.

They are both relatively elusive, lack real KO power, and have good stamina / recovery ability - so I suspect it'll be an attritional fight that ends in a contentious points decision (and thus set-up the re-match).  I just hope it's action-packed rather than a tepid peek-and-poke festival.

I was going to suggest Halux Rigidus too. Running mate has recently been diagnosed with it, or possibly Ledderhose if you have any signs of Duputren's in your hands, but that is usually under your foot I think.

Good article in Climbing, not yet paywalled: https://www.climbing.com/news/didier-berthod-climbs-cobra-crack-5-14-squamish/

Not mentioned is that Didier's daughter Cedar is also a crusher, winning the lead event in the Canadian Championships last winter and now in the national team.

Thanks for this, quite the redemption story. Paywalled now but available here of course: https://archive.ph/b4Dzp

(Whilst she's also Didier's daughter, I imagine Cedar had a lot more influence from Thomasina Pidgeon until recently).

Very hard to compare, but…
I started to develop a lump, at the MTP of the big toe on my right foot along with some “aching” type pain.
Initially it seemed fleshy - cartilaginous.
What I didn’t realise and only did as it progressed, that lump was inflammation over the root cause.
Now, almost ten years later, I have a pronounced, boney, lump and often considerable pain.
Bone spurs! Arthritis, essentially.
Halux Rigidus and probably the result of a frostbite some 30 plus years ago.
Bugger doesn’t half chafe on flip flops and stubbing the fucker has resulted in a few new words in the English language to make Shakespeare blush. Fuchenbassardcunwancaarggh, being one.
Climbing shoes are a problem (as is smearing) but downturned shoes are the best.
I was told it would hamper my running/hiking/load bearing marches; but it hasn’t, really.
Safety shoes are an arse with it and I prefer soft uppers on any shoe I intend to spend a long time wearing.
Anyway, get it x-rayed.
How any of that relates to your Pinky…🤷‍♂️
