Ribs hurt

[caribe]

Lining of the lung? No way. Perhaps you are stressing the external intercostal muscles --- Hugh? Maria? Aren't you guys going to weigh in on this discussion?

I get a sharp pains under the lower front rib from time to time when I am climbing harder stuff. Apparently you can irritate the lining of the lung, stress ribs and irritate other vitals when torqueing your body under climbing conditions causing sharp pains. Precordial Catch Syndrome is one that you can get. If it intensifies when you take a deep breath then that may be what it is. Or it could be a rib issue. Stop trying to create women.

TradMike-
How high does your harness lift in the front when you're hanging? I remember getting some friction from mine when my feet spend more time in the air than on the rock.
