A friend did basically the same injury as you Darin and was very proactive about rehab, was in top form within 4-5 months. Biking uphill was the key as it is relatively low impact and builds calf muscles well. So, a quick diagnosis allows for a speedy recovery ( I had to wait 3 months for a CT scan while I withered away). Proactive rehab is key. The most important thing though is what happens to balance in an ankle injury. I am STILL fighting to regain balance four years after my break. I had two stupid, idiotic snow falls when I returned to mtneering after my break; my aknle just lost its sense of balance. Tougher to regain than pure muscle mass. All the best dude!

You should see my big toenail after our heinous ski-out... not pretty. I'm afraid to put my rock shoes on. But, back to the topic... I did the Spearhead Traverse a couple of weeks ago in twelve hours. For one of the guys with us, it was only his second day of backcountry skiing. He was fit, and an intermediate skier, but spent a lot of time screwing around with skins, bindings, etc. Even with that overhead, we still made good time, and were able to easily move at twice the speed of groups hauling overnight gear. To paraphrase Jim Bridwell (I think): If you bring overnight gear, you'll probably use it. If you don't, you're motivation to push through is pretty high. .

Now if I could only figure out where this one is . . . anybody know? See attach : "Scenic alpine campsite. Some loose rock. No Crowds. British Columbia." photo by Sean Issac

Ah no. Cool alpine on either side of the Fraser though, though it's too early. Lowland climbing right now, closest would be Marble Canyon outside of Lillooet, Harrison crags, or Arthur's Seat. All have their relative sketch factors

Ah fuck Dinka! As someone who has done nearly the same thing 3.5 years ago, and somone who has something invested in your recovery by August, let me offer two points: 1. Before you fully commit to weight bearing etc, try to get a CT scan to determine other hairline fractures. No, I'm no doctor, but it is extremely hard to see all the fractures with just an XRay. This messed me up good when I actually re-ruined my ankle on the advice of the ER guys in Vancouver. 2. Your calf muscle will wither VERY RAPIDLY if you do not have a very intensive physio program. I am only just now at 100% on my left calf after 3.5 years (I was non-weight bearing for six months with now physio in place.) Get better dude
