I’ve been a few weeks off climbing now and I miss it! Originally, I thought I’d take just two weeks off due to the fact that my middle finger on my right hand and my right shoulder were both a bit sore (I think from overuse) but it has been extended for a couple reasons:
First, I had the bout of poison ivy which ended up all over my arms — something you wouldn’t want to climb with.
I figured I’d be back to it sometime this week but on Sunday I grazed my fingertip on my middle finger left hand with a nail from a nailgun. It took off a good quarter of my nail and has left my finger feeling quite bruised. I knew nailguns were dangerous and thought I was being pretty careful but obviously I need to take a couple extra precautions to prevent nails that decide to bend on me from hitting my fingers. Quite a “doh” moment and quite scary that it could have been a lot worse a few centimeters closer to the center of the finger.
Try#2 – Thanks for posting the renovation pictures. The framing looks as if it is coming along well. I hope you can post updates as it evolves.
