Amerigoons! I am a west coast rear end in a top hat traveling to memphis this summer. I know there isn't poo poo to climb in memphis, but I may be taking a side trip to Gatlinburg and Chattanooga. Are there any not to be missed sport routes?

Just keep driving to red river gorge in Kentucky. More sport routes then you can list that are worth climbing.

Is here a google group or outside network for SA climbers? Anyways, after a tough semester of classes I'm trying to get back into climbing. Struggled up some V3s the other day which was relieving yet disappointing since I was pushing V4+ before. I find my grip and strength are there, but I've lost a ton of stamina. If anyone's in the Boston area and wants to hit up BRG give a shout!

I (still) live in Golden, so Clear Creek, Eldo, Boulder, North Table, South Platte, anywhere in Colorado, really, will be good for me.

Yeah and I've actually climbed with the guy who posed it, and climbed at Animal World. That's about as close to home as it gets. I'm fairly good about wearing my helmet, mostly because my wife gets mad if I don't, but I kind of want to get one of those foam helmet with better side protection now.

I just started rock climbing (within the past couple months, anyway) and did my first outdoor climb a couple weekends ago. I didn't have a helmet and I felt naked as hell, which shook my confidence, big time. I wear a helmet for every other sport I do so I'm buying a rock climbing helmet ASAP - seems silly not to have one.

I've heard that light workouts are necessary for tendons to heal because it promotes blood flow that the tendon doesn't get normally and that improves healing. I had a tendon that wouldn't get better until I started climbing easy for 15-20 minutes a few times a week. No progress before but its starting to feel better and stronger, though still weaker than my other fingers.

I've had a bunch of problems with the middle finger on my right hand for the past 2.5 years or so. First it was a collateral ligament, then some pulley issues, and now the joint is messed up somehow. It's finally getting close to 100% now! The biggest improvement I've gotten is from a mixture of rest, using theraputty for hand exercises, an accupressure massage ring, and contrast baths. I don't know which, if any, of these actually made a difference(besides rest, always helps) but I'm all better now. Kinda better at least.

Had my first finger "injury" (index finger a4 pulley area) last week. Hurt only in that very specific area, and only when applying pressure to it. With lots of massaging and a couple rest days it went away cleanly, but I was making GBS threads myself for a bit. At this stage I can't even imagine not climbing for a week straight. Has anyone here been deep water soloing before? Any tips/tricks? In terms of climbing, I've been focusing hard on roof climbing and steep inverts/endurance, which hopefully transfers over well. I'm still clueless on shoe/chalk management with that much water around though.

I've been having a lot of discomfort in my hands and arms the last few weeks. It's kind of hard to describe, like a dull ache in my tendons with some tingling/spasms throughout. I also feel like I've had some strength loss in my biceps. I only climb every 2-3 days max. My diet's been kinda crappy lately, but I'm starting to get concerned that I can't shake this.

Are you icing it twice a day or so? The ache is related to inflammation and you can really help that by icing. Take a week off climbing, ice, and see what happens.

Ravenfood posted:This is exactly what's been happening to me, though its just my right elbow. Its like I pulled it somehow. Do you do any tricep work? Muscle imbalance is a really common problem and can be fixed by just doing some dips/skullcrushers/pulldowns etc. At the end of a session. This usually manifests as an ache that happens mostly when you let go of a hold in the inside of your elbow above the joint. Keep in mind I'm not a doctor, don't ignore actual pain, yadda yadda
