Hey @godotengine, look at this cutie @fahrstuhl made for my birthday! 🤩 Complete with wobbly eyes, which obviously is a must-have these days! (CC @kenney)
About 2 months ago, I injured my fingers while #bouldering. It was a really stupid route where there were no good footholds when you reach the last crappy two-finger hold (I'm still mad at the route setters for that).
I skipped a week of climbing, & the next few weeks I avoided using those fingers. It was feeling better, so after a month I went back to climbing harder & re-injured the fingers (I'm still mad at myself for that).
Lol the extremely ungraceful exit as I finish a route, slip while deciding whether to downclimb, and hit the ground (well, the mat) with a loud grunt. #climbing#bouldering
Wrist is better again, no issues during this morning's #bouldering session. Still working on that project I found on Tuesday, have made some minor progress there but still getting turned out of the wall. Had some fun with a ton of newly created routes in another part of the gym and once more lost some skin 😅
Despite sleeping bad tonight (nightmare woke me in the middle of the night and then I couldn't fully fall asleep again 🙄) I still got up way too early for my Tuesday #bouldering session. Twisted my ankle a bit on a route 45min in, so I didn't do the full hour this time, but still managed to surprise myself a couple of times when I was able to pull off moves I didn't think I could do 💪
The ankle is ok btw, just a bit grumpy but should be fine again by tomorrow.
I'm finally back on the #bouldering wall as of today, after my forced break of more than a month thanks to #COVID.
My fear of heights did not return, which is great news! Strength was also still surprisingly fine, and I even managed to do a 35 grip traversal route 💪
I need to build up my stamina and also the skin on my hands again, but all in all this was a good restart for me 😊
Busy morning thanks to an MRI appointment that's now taken care of and a COVID booster appointment in 30min, but I still managed to get a #bouldering session in! A bit more successful than Tuesday's, and @timothy also got to tag along 😊
Today's #bouldering session helped clear my head. It wasn't as successful as I hoped, many more routes attempted than finished, but spending time puzzling over boulder problems and joking around with friends was good for me after some strong blues yesterday.
Now I hope the soreness won't be as horrible as that from the last session, it took until this morning for my muscles to no longer hurt AF 😅
cautiously only climbed for 30 minutes, with a couple of breaks. Unfortunately I felt the same kind of tendon pain by the end of the session, though it only lasted a couple of hours. I think I need to do some more targetted exercises/stretches before going back to regular climbing :( #bouldering#lateralepicondylitis
