just a warning. I was out enjoying a day of climbing and was on the last move of a grade ten lead. As I pulled over the top my knee made a horrid snapping sound and was instantly painful. I ended up unable to work and a visit to the surgeon. A few weeks later (thanks to private health insurance) I had surgery. Turns out as I twisted on the knee I literally had a blow out in the cartlidge on the femor head. It has now been removed( the damaged cartlidge that is)and my knee will never be the same. So take care of your knees you never know when you are going to twist funny and end up with no climbing for months. Has anyone else managed to do this? The surgeon was a little stumped as to how I managed it.
