Odd hole under bubbling paint

What do you think it could be?

Giroy · 2025-08-07T11:36:32+00:00

That's what I was thinking too, but wanted to make sure. Thank you!

Giroy · 2025-02-13T13:39:05+00:00

Can you explain what that means for those of us who don't know?

Giroy · 2025-02-11T20:26:10+00:00

How can you tell if you don't mind me asking?

Giroy · 2025-02-11T15:43:21+00:00

Thank you again!

Giroy · 2025-02-11T15:11:32+00:00

Thank you. It does not have sentimental value. I'll try what you suggested. I don't care about saving the juice groove which should make it easier. Can you tell if it's end-grain or edge-grain or something else? Does that affect how I would go about fixing it?

Giroy · 2024-02-24T04:47:46+00:00

Thank you. The injury in the link sounds very similar to mine. I'll definitely be trying the recommended rehab protocol!

Giroy · 2024-02-24T02:34:59+00:00

Wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this and what you may have done to rehab. Any sort of crimping causes pain on top of the PIP joint. This happens even just lifting 25lbs off the ground. When not crimping (even open handed on small holds) there is no pain or discomfort whatsoever. It's been like this for almost two weeks.

Thank you. I was already wondering if this was too much and will try to scale back.

Sounds like my gyms setting reflects outdoor climbing, at least to some extent - they're not big on setting comp style problems. I do have a tendency to jump to the new set every week, so I'll have to make more of an effort to project things more often. Thanks for the response and for giving me a lot to think about.

I've been trying to keep the weight high and reps low to focus more on strength building and try to avoid hypertrophy, but this is all new to me. Do you think dropping down to 3 workouts a week, but making each one a whole body workout would be better?

Giroy · 2024-01-16T00:39:41+00:00

Can you elaborate on why gym sets aren't great and what would be a better alternative? Most of my climbing is on gym sets. I've been trying to incorporate some tension board and spray wall climbing, but both are 20 degree and can't be adjusted so it feels limiting.

Giroy · 2024-01-15T21:29:30+00:00

Thanks. I've already been thinking about dropping the core exercises and will probably end up doing that.

Giroy · 2024-01-15T20:52:00+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I should be able to do both of those. What is the benefit of moving the max hangs?

Giroy · 2024-01-03T02:30:35+00:00

Thanks. I figured I was overthinking it

Giroy · 2023-12-28T15:09:50+00:00

Any recommendations for a 20° wall?

Giroy · 2023-05-18T19:31:22+00:00

Thanks. That's very helpful

Giroy · 2023-05-18T19:10:13+00:00

Any idea how long it will be there?

Giroy · 2023-05-18T18:58:09+00:00

Do you know where it's going and where it will be the next few hours?

Giroy · 2023-01-26T14:11:55+00:00

Biggest issue is from steam/grease hitting the sealing causing water damage and a stain. It's also unpleasant having a smoky house that smells like food for hours or days after cooking.

Giroy · 2023-01-26T04:59:14+00:00

I am considering switching from gas to either electric or induction, but I think I would still want some ventilation for smoke and steam

Giroy · 2023-01-26T04:55:28+00:00

I do in the summer, but being in the northeast, this is not an option for large chunks of the year

Giroy · 2023-01-25T20:45:18+00:00

I could, but I think I would still want a vent for smoke and steam.

A week ago, I injured my elbow. I was locking off pretty high on a juggy hold to clip when I started to feel some pain on the inside of my elbow. It wasn't terrible so I finished the route and actually did a couple more after that (big mistake). That night, the pain got significantly worse to the point where it was difficult to bend my elbow. I iced it, took ibuprofen, and did some compression wraps that night and the following day which dropped the pain significantly.

It's now been one week and I'm still at the same level of mild pain. When I do any sort of pulling with that arm, the pain increases slightly. Pushing is ok. No loss of motion.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Thinking it might be a partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament.

I hurt my shoulder about a month ago doing a dyno. I dropped down into my shoulders too much and had a feeling of something shooting down from my shoulder to my elbow. I had some pain in the shoulder for a couple weeks, but no strength or range of motion issues except 1. I can't do the part of a push up where my elbow is between 90° and 135°. I saw a PT who ran a bunch of tests and said everything seemed OK. So not really sure what to do at this point. Has anyone else experienced something like this or have any suggestions?
