A thread that will evolve as I update it along the way, in good old campfire (kind of trip report / discussion) fashion, ... but first to set the scene...
(Please be patient as it's an ongoing work in progress!)
O Oysters, come and walk with us!
The Walrus did beseech.
A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
~ ~ ~
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
And waited in a row.
The time has come, the Walrus said,
To talk of many things:
Of shoes - - and ships - - and sealing-wax - -
Of cabbages - - and kings - -
And why the sea is boiling hot - -
And whether pigs have wings.
~ Lewis Carroll; (excerpt; Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. ~ 1872).
So what has cabbage got to do with climbing I hear you ask?
Well more specifically CABG... otherwise known as an acronym for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (can be one or more...), ie heart bypass surgery.
I just arrived home from having this done, and can now give feedback on how the condition affected my climbing beforehand, plus how the ongoing recovery from it affects my future climbing, for any that may be interested.
If your not interested, then do yourself a favour and hide the topic to help de-clutter your screen!
Heh, heh, heh.
