Climbing Update


So it's been 1.6 years since I could climb due to an A/C separation back in January of '06. I won't go into the excruciating details of my last 9 months of personally-directed physical therapy - let's just say it involved a lot of humbling work with 2 lb. dumbells. But I think they got the job done.

On Thursday I hucked two double-dyno's in OSU's climbing gym, which probably should have torn my shoulder back apart, but everything seems to have held together so far. Anyone who's suffered a major injury knows what it feels like to finally get back to it - what a relief!

If all goes well I'd like to take a few climbing trips to Smith Rock this fall. I'll be in the climbing gym twice per week until then.
