Lockdown training

 

Revealing injury and how to recover from that

Tunes

On the mid February I had a interesting gym session in Kuopio-citys climbing gym Voema. Our plan with Savonlinnas old climbing fart aka Mr. Kotro was to have relaxing climbing evening and after that to go movies to see Honnolds madness-movie. I havnt climb in months because our family got a new member. But even more than overweight I got enthusiasm to perform on the same level what I was about 17kg thinner.

VOEMA

Enjoying heal hook under my left feet while crimping with my right hand gave my body enough stress to say: BANG!

Yeah, Punk got his first real pain in his middle finger..... It was quite interesting to have that tingling sensation and a doubt through the whole movie. Is it a pulley injury and how freaking bad... Well, you all know me (not) but a Finnish mentality about injuries and I really didnt do anything to it for a while... After movie and few hours I did a proper check and used ibuprofen.

Last pictures on the photo beneath others is for comparison for left hand finger vs injured right hand finger.

Yes... All indicated to pulley injury. Ship! I was pretty disappointed to myself. Who the Hell would be so dump to climb overweight with out warmup 6c after about half year for non-climbing seasons. Without proper climbing in months. ME!!! Well I went to a doctor and for everyones surprise doctor found this.

Yeap... I jumped from "Ouh my goodness I cant climb for months!" to "Screw it all, I am going to die." ......hehehehehe. Or just my punk-finger would be chopped off. Few pictures later We were much smarter.

There you are!

Few months later surgery went pretty freaking good and the bone transfer was success.

So how can one recover from that kind of mental roller coaster..... Build your own freaking gym just next to your home. YES! That is my answer. Proudly I present Hilly Billy Moon Kaboom:

How to Burn Fat And Still not climb a 7a?

Fat Burning Movie from my school years:
(Couldn't count while doing chin-ups so why not make a fun stroll from my attempt... Hehehehehehe. If we are tube brains then we all are fudged.)

Good morning you lovely mind! Nature's "tribute" to the Brothers Lionheart or just flipping the bird.

Harrison's Rocks And London ...Init

Tunes!

Sometimes the Wind blows you that kind of tunes that you have to just follow...

This time my path took me back to London. Pages of history book told me about railway workers and the songs they listened at three a clock am.

Which kind of pulling a diesel locomotive has and how it differs from a steam locomotive.

"No, no, no, no, no.... 

or 

....Come on, come on, come on, come on!"

It gives you completely new angle how to approach.

Harrison's Rocks Is "about" a hour drive from London to southeast.

Harrison`s has beautiful sandstone and so slippery sloups that I could ask you to bring potato brush with you again. Rocks is so soft that even using top rope with slings makes me feel ill.

We got some blueberry field love with us

in form of living legend Dave. He wanted to show some routes for a day to us.

If people are saying that Jyväskylä or Mikkeli area has quite accurate grades they could go and check out how they have graded these rocks.... I bet it still is more for me the lack of the wrist movement practise which could stop this anal grade slander.

Gorgeous rocks protected by BMC just asks at least few pads take with you there.

Old school way to use rope made my heart sing!

 

Mostly we climbed in unclimbed wall sector where I could recomend flash The Hoarding if you really need to tick something in these rather high walls.

From ethical way of seeing things this cliff definitely gives you reason to think what chipping, orthodox line, save the rocks and irreversible damage actually means... Almost every freaking cliff inside Finnish border control is older than this gem from England. Respect that Finland!

This was just a thought

not any kind of authoritative voice from my head.

London and The Castle:

No ship Batman! Its a train...

The Castle is good climbing place for training but I suggest to go there early during the day.

It just saves you from the all chalk dust and crowded walls.

Time for a good curry...

Thank you Kat, Dave, Steves, Richard full power and Chris the loverboy
