Video Friday – 5/4/2012

Posted May 4, 2012 at 8:00 am · Comments { 17 } ·

I guess I wasn’t kidding last week when I said that last weekend could be the end of the spring climbing season.  During a fitness burn at the end of my weekend in the Red River Gorge I was pressing on a foot hold with my left foot when I heard a disturbing sound.

 I initially though it was a hold breaking even though that sort of thing would have been unlikely given the route I was on.

 Unfortunately, the sound was my ankle blowing up, and I haven’t taken a step since without a crutch.  Nothing like a badly sprained ankle to put a pretty definitive end to the season.  To paraphrase Dave Graham:  I guess that’s why I won’t be doing Terremer Paradise Lost this season.

      Trust me, I’m confused too. It happened so fast and the noise was distracting so I don’t know if my foot slipped or if my ankle just gave out or what.

    Ouch, sounds like it could be an Achilles tear. Luckily you’ve got the long hot summer to heal up; so heal, Narc, heal there is crushing to be done.

      Achilles tears do not just happen out of the blue.

      I only play a Dr. on the internet, but the Dr. I saw about it didn’t say anything about the Achilles being an issue.

      As long as I can provide people entertainment through my misfortune then this site is worth running, no?

        Indeed, it makes my own issues feel laughably less frequent and not nearly as serious.

        You never hear about aches/injuries from the elite and it makes us, me at least, feel like they’re somehow above the injuries we incur, which I don’t believe is the reality of the situation.
