Climbing woe :(
Dammit. Ten minutes after arriving at the climbing center, I dropped off the bottom of a quick, easy climb about 2 feet onto the bouldering mat and my right knee just refused to bend. I think I may have damaged something. It's now incredibly painful, but, amusingly, only when I try to bend it - this makes going upstairs rather annoying.
Of course, I didn't let that stop me immediately. I decided to go and do a few overhang routes instead and managed to get all the way up a (slippery) 4C that had defeated me previously and a couple of 5As. I even managed to do some of the panels downstairs, but I was mostly stuck trying to do easy 4As/4Bs without using my right leg (which is rather more tricky than you'd think). It also gave me an amazing incentive to climb down rather than jump (which, tbh, I should be doing anyway, but sometimes you're just too tired).
Hopefully I should be all better for next Wednesday. There will be no climbing this weekend due to being in Amsterdam with merlinc :)
