Dr Saunders... On the forum? Im not familiar...

Mine didnt make a snapping noise.. sounded/felt like a tearing but its certainly not torn ligament or anything, I could still use it it just didnt feel good.

Did you have the clicking too?

Yeah Ive only been climbing a short while. It was a boulder problem though, you know what theyre like. To be honest, Ive seen people do it without a dyno anyway, it was just my easy way to send it :) Not so easy in hindsight though... Only because I f*#$ed it up though...

The move is a shallow pocket only big enough for a single finger. I see people using it like a pinch but it takes more strength in the thumb than I have so I used it like a mono and that worked for me in that I got the problem sorted.

Bouldering is really the only time Ive been doing stuff like that though, and I have no intention of doing any more moves like that until welllllll into the future when this hand feels 100% normal again, if it ever does.
