    Calcific Tendonitis?

    in Fitness and Nutrition Forum

    Posted

    There is swelling and discomfort medial to my #4 metacarpophalangeal joint. I have taken ~ a month off and take motrion to reduce swelling. I tried climbing the other day and almost instantly the discomfort returned and a few minutes after leaving the gym, the swelling came back even worse. A very prominate superficial firm swelling between #4 and 5 metacarpophalangeal joint. When I clencth a fist I can feel the discomfort radiate in a linear fashion thru my wrist but then can not feel anything past that.

     

    1. Sound like Calcific tendonitits? I checked webmd, wiki, etc and it sounds to be more of a shoulder issue.

     

    2. what can I do to speed up recovery?

    Grivel vs. BD Crampons

    in The Gear Critic

    I have a pair of trango extremes and I am considering a pair of vertical front point crampons. Whne i tried the fit of the Grivel crampons (G-14, Rambos) they seemed to fit better than the Cyborgs. What are the opinions of the populace of fit and function between the two?

    so im pretty new to winter climbing. I have wednesday, thursday, and maybe friday to climb. what and where would a good spot for a beginner be? I am ok with steep snow and think I can manage WI3 if i have enough screws. Hubba hubba? or similar ice around Leavenworth? Banks? NBC on Colchuck? etc

     

    thanks

    These are new. I bought them and decided I do not need a mitten with in my glove system. I cant return them because the company I bought them from is VERY STRICT (I did not save all the tags that were on them). I am asking 90 (includes shipping). They are a sixe XL but they run small, So if you wear a large in BD gloves these should fit you well

     

    here is a link to check them out

    [TR] Snow Creek Trail - 12/4/2010

    in Alpine Lakes

    Trip: Snow Creek Trail -

     

    Date: 12/4/2010

     

    Trip Report:

    Thought I would try to fill you guys in on ice conditions around Leavenwroth. This is my first year ice climbing so to me it seems that there is A LOT of ice all over. We climbed at the first millennium wall. The ice was variable and by that i mean in one area of the wall it would be low angle hero swings with some running water over the tope, and in another be bullet hard vertical "dry" ice. It was fun with good temps IDK how to post photos so here is a link to my picasa page. ENJOY!

    Dont laugh to hard at me!!

     

    Gear Notes:

    If your going to top rope I suggest trying to go with some one that is comfortable leading the ice or be ok with soloing the one or two moves on vertical ice needed to approach from the left side of the wall. Other wise you do what I did and decide to solo 60 feet of mixed climbing, with no mixed climbing experience or health insurance!!!

     

    Approach Notes:

    took us 1.5 hours (stopped for pictures) to get to the climbs up the snow lakes trail. Trail is packed in nicely meaning snow shoes are not needed.
