dont get excited about this post its not that exciting but its for the benefit of a couple of ppl who were at
wave wall the other day....

.. i managed to kick the toe nail off the end of my little toe and its taken the nail bed with it...only a 50%
chance it will ever grow back. long term that doesnt mean much to my climbing but i may not be able to
put on climbing shoes for probs at least a month or more. so its going to be a whole lot of campusing and
hangboarding.

cheers to mel for dressing the "wound" (pitiful little one at that)
from a climber who will NOT make the mistake of not putting his shoes back on after a climb.

just drop a grade or two and try climbing with one foot, will give the rest of the body a good workout ;-)

you will be able to trim you toenails in 90% of the time it used to take you.

shouldn't you account for the fact that the big toe takes just a little bit more time to trim...?
