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).
@Andres4NY Dave McCloud wrote a book on injury rehab called "Make or Break". Haven't read it yet, though a friend just loaned it to me, and he reckons it's really good.
Failing that "The Climbing Doctor" (findable in Instagram) looks to have some good rehab and prevention advice.
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.
