ahh bones great things to have, but we should look into replacing them with titanium. wouldn't that be good. when i broke my ankle all i could do is think about climbing. i climbed once with my cast on proberbly 3 weeks after it was put on,the overhang at the pitch.after that it felt like i could keep going and climbing the rest of the night. every time i would grab a hold i would get in shit even with both feet on the ground.

your question is a good one.
what you can do my friend is

on one hand climb straight away (as in the first couple of months) and risk a serious and have problems coming back to haunt you in the future which will proberly stop your climbing alltogether.

or on the other hand wait it out, dont do anything that will cause any strain, ie.let time heel it. this is a lot more demanding on your brain since you will have your mates calling you to go climbing every week,and trust me being there to just watch them doesn't help, it just makes you want to climb more. the up side to this being 20 years down the track you will still be climbing .
