I've been climbing with a tweaked finger tendon for the last 6 weeks or so and I've come to realize it's gotten bad enough that I have to take a break.. The plan is 3 weeks of no climbing and then the following 3 weeks of slowly escalating to the Hueco trip. Hueco is 6 weeks away and counting and even though taking a few weeks off now will be frustrating -- it will be far more frustrating to be in Hueco not at 100%. It's just as well I take a break now -- the MN season looks to be officially over -- we're getting 6+ inches of snow dumped on us right now and more to come tonight and tomorrow. So all I'll be missing is plastic climbing. I will be focusing on core workouts in the meantime and antagonist muscle training.
Here's some random pictures to brighten up the post:

Neil! There's only one thing you should do! Accupuncture! If you really want to be HEALED and not have to worry about it, get yourself stuck! Seriously! Two treatments on my shoulder a week before Hueco and no problems at all! DO IT! DO IT NOW!
