Ouch...


Well, I'm on a slight break from climbing right now since a small incident when I was last out on Saturday. They day had been going pretty well with a send of a highball that I'd contemplated doing since I got here, and then with a tick of one of my listed items, 100 Proof Roof.

Feeling pretty good, and psyched about the day we headed over to get on some of the harder things on my must do list, Baby Face and Daily Dick Dose. I flailed on Daily for a bit and then decided that I'd give Baby Face a shot. I made some quick progress and was feeling pretty good about the problem. Then, I pulled on and heard the dreaded crunch from my hand, and had some pretty sharp pains through the palm of my hand. It turns out to be nothing serious, just needs a few days of rest and some slow rehab for a few more days, and then hopefully I'll be back at pulling decent for the rest of the trip.

I still ended up getting on a climb after the injury at the end of the day though, another climb on the list, Ghetto Simulator. Ghetto is a 30-35 ft. V2 that pulls through huge jugs up to a crimpy top-out. I was psyched to flash this beast and not really be pumped. Definitely might be something to head back to for some laps to try and keep my endurance up!

Either way, the injury has provided me with the time to sit on the computer and do some looking for jobs, get better at ping pong, and look for more jobs. We'll have to see what is in the cards!

Here are some copped photos of the problems that I've been working and such.
