I don't. That would mean I throw myself on Tor routes 7 days a week. One day is enough. Especially when it's a volume day. Last Saturday was such a day. 5 redpoints. 8 laps.
da routes
- Power of Eating (5.11d) - redpoint
- Auto Magic (5.12a) - redpoint
- The Natural (5.12c) - redpoint
- No Skill (5.12c) - redpoint
- Better Than Chips (5.12d) - redpoint
- Hell of the Upside Down Sinners (5.12b) - 1 fall
- I grabbed the chains. Yep.
- Anchor Punch (5.12a) - 1 fall
- At this point I'm just pissed. So, I didn't really care. Waited about 10 minutes after Hell before starting up this gem.
- When the Sea Doesn't Want You (5.12a) - 2 falls
- 2 falls. Not caring at all at this point. Waited 10 minutes, tops, between Anchor Punch and this. Obviously, I still had tons of energy. Unstoppable, really.

Actually, I'm a little jealous of you this week. Yeah, I felt something sort of "tear" I think in my left shoulder while I was hanging on a jug at pine mountain on Friday. Kind of a release of the shoulder muscle followed by sort of a sharp warm feeling. Haven't really pushed on it much since, but it feels a little swollen.... How the F#@K did this happen?
BTW - Nice work. The Natural, No Skill and Better than Chips in a day is a good day.
The "sharp warm feeling" sounds bad. I'm trying to remember when I've felt that cuz I know it's familiar. Maybe that's good - if I can't remember, it must not have been that bad. Athletes at either extreme of flexibility, whether super tight or super flexible, are supposed to be more susceptible to injury. Hyper-mobility in the shoulders is not necessarily a great thing. The muscles of your rotator cuff need to hold the shoulder down and back when climbing. With the range I know you have in your shoulders you need to concentrate on healthy form. Your background in yoga combined with lazy form at the end of a long bouldering session could have set you up for this. Your rate of injury is troubling. Could be this is a symptom of a systemic problem - think harder.
