I like how crack climbing wounds "bloom" like a flower after a couple days. Like, at first, it doesn't really look all that bad, but, within a couple days, it looks like someone took a belt sander to your hand. Sandstone is good like that, but crystally granite (vedauwoo, etc) really tears you up. I missed a spot on my hand while taping for Horn' mother (this way cool fist crack in vedauwoo), and I still have a scar.

Ahh... wear your scars proudly like a medal. Each one probably has its own unique story. These precious moments can be easily remembered merely by glancing at the fleshy reminders of the good ole days...

All my climbing wounds are healed, sadly. But my work wounds are festering and taking forever to heal. You can't even see the bruise on my ribs (from squirming back over a shelf after going the wrong way) any more. Hopefully this weekend will see me getting good and scraped up again! It don't count if you don't leave some skin on the rock.
