Going well then injury - doh!
May 14, 2007, 10:06:05 pm
Its got to be Murphy's Law but why is it that every time you get really psyched and going well that an injury rears its ugly head.

In my case after a bonza start to the limestone routing season I've 'snapped' the tendon in my little finger tonight! Not exactly sure what as yet, or how bad, but when you hear 'that' sound you know its not good! Time to pop the Ibruprofen and chill for a few weeks.

Ho hum! :alky:

Just learn to crimp without it. Unless you plan to lead on Grit in which case your FUBAR

Keep climbing, tape it, avoid crimping = fast healing. Don't just stop, it'll take ages to heal.

Its definately the A2 pulley. Don't think its as bad as it could easily have been as I found myself picking my nose with it this morning! Or it could be the 'higher than recommended dose' of Ibruprofen.

Any recommendations for rock hard non-little finger crimpfests in the Peak? And don't suggest Entree - I fell out with it last nyt  :furious:
