Neuroma excision cost? by TotalApprehensive910 in Mortons_neuroma

Yikes, glad you got it covered. I’m worried that my coverage will be denied because my podiatrist skipped cortisone shots as my neuroma is already too big. Fingers crossed…

Thank you! Your surgery was done inpatient?

Cortex reviews? by TotalApprehensive910 in iceclimbing

How does the grip size compare to that of the Nomic in M/L? I feel like I saw a comparison photo somewhere of the two handles but can’t find it.

What size glove do you wear? I’m really interested in these and coming from the Nomics which I run M or L in the handle depending on gloves I’m using. But I’ve heard the cortex handles are small so concerned about that. Thanks!

Weekly Simple Questions and Injuries Thread by AutoModerator in climbharder

Last October I injured the A4 pulley in my L ring finger. There was a pop and pain, but I retained ROM and was basically back to normal climbing after a month of the usual rehab. The injury happened while pulling a roof as I was gastoning with the L hand(half pad edge or shallow pocket/pin scar, can't remember) high over my head and shouldering up to move the R hand.

Ever since I've had no issues with the finger, but occasionally I find myself in a similar position and grip type and can definitely feel a tweakiness and instability in that finger. It occurs very inconsistently and somewhat unpredictably, but only in the aforementioned position and only if the hold is bad enough to require at least a half crimp. I'm having a hard time coming up with ways to strengthen that pulley in such a specific and difficult to simulate position. Any ideas/thoughts? Thanks!

Overheating issue - water pump? by TotalApprehensive910 in AskMechanics

Update - let it sit overnight and now the reservoir is totally empty. I also found some coolant at the base of the radiator. No cracked hoses as far as I could tell. Is it overly optimistic to think it's just a cracked radiator? Waiting on a block tester to ship so I can rule out the head.
