completely F'd

take a few days off, then try it out on JUGS. If it still hurts, you'll probably need like 3-6 months off. Enjoy...

I am not trying to be rude, but I am really surprised that you pulled a tendon on an 11. I can see it happening if your feet cut and you fingers were stuck or something, but the Red has actually always been good for my tendons and healed them from to much gym bouldering.

The two times I had significant tendon injuries I was doing something stupid, not warmed up, and had not been drinking much water. I have found that hydrating is the best thing I can do for my tendons, and I am not talking just the day of. You have to stay very hydrated every day, for them to stay healthy and heal.

Maybe that GNC stuff, F'ed you.

I've been on 11b's that could definitely tweak a tendon if I wasn't properly warmed up. But I am fat.

Sounds to me like you ripped your pulley. If that is the case, then you are really f'ed! If I were you, I would see a doctor soon.

My question is how f'd am I?

Well, sounds like you're a sport climber, so pretty F'd.

Ditto.

Which ones?

I did it on mona lisa overdrive. It was about 20 degrees out. it made apopping noise like breaking a chicken bone. You know the one I'm talking about. The one you gotta break so the chicken will cook all the way through.....


Went out today and did some AID climbing. Tried to pull on a jug and it felt like shit!! I think I'm down for the next six weeks. Maybe I'll get some bolting in.....

everyone is different, but I had a friend in Texas that did this twice, one on each hand, and he was able to surpass his high points each time. He also got smarter and consistent about injury prevention.

Hope you have the motivation to rest, heal up and come back strong.

How long have you been climbing? I don't have near the tendon issues now, as I did in my first 4 years. I also know what my tendon limit is now, and have no problem letting go when things don't feel right.
