@Ed Struble I bet we have passed each other at FTB the past couple of years. I would be glad to meet you at Citadel, but down to get on ropes before the Fall. Currently, a good majority of my Saturdays are booked up with SCC Trail Days this summer.

Thanks Mike. I did some lead climbing outside on slab routes. I could feel the time off when I needed to trust my footwork.

@Ryan Hegarty good luck with your recovery. Saturday was 6 weeks post-injury and it felt good to climb again. I did hit one two-finger pocket this session and immediately bailed. I don't have access to a 3D printer, but that splint looks great. The key I have found in research is to have something mostly rigid to keep the flexor tendon close to the bone. You are trying to prevent bow stringing the flexor tendon as much as possible. You are looking to prevent scar tissue from forming below the flexor tendon. I was diligent about wearing the splint during the waking hours. I would take it off to sleep, and occasionally, if moisture got inside. I plan to wear it while climbing or I am lifting anything with major weight. I think in a few weeks I plan to move to taping the joint. I am in Chattanooga, TN. We have some amazing sandstone to climb on. You can find great bouldering, sport, and trad around there. The only thing is that it's all single pitch. Lately, I have been more stoked on bouldering outside, but I plan to get back on some ropes as the temperatures warm up.
