The Road Back

Just documenting the climbs completed and planned on during a recovery process. Many of the lower graded, earlier logged routes were done with some dubiousness as a means to an end.
April 15, 2017 - total Achilles rupture on right leg.
April 27, 2017 - nerve damage in left arm and hand. Strength <10%.
May 27, 2017 - first day outdoor climbing again (on top-rope, with aircast, and very limited function of left hand).
June 18, 2017 - first day of climbing where left hand functioned fully (i.e could closed-crimp, could pinch, etc.), although in a quite weakened state still.
July 6, 2017 - nerve damage fully recovered (left-hand fully functioning and equal strength to right-hand)
July 16, 2017 - first day climbing without aircast on. Forefoot capable of supporting ~30% of bodyweight, max, at this point.
July 21, 2017 - foot function increasing. Can heel-hook and place toe for balance/support. No smearing, and no use of toe that isn't on a fully flexed calf and pointed toe. No pulling or pushing with toe. Forefoot supporting nearly 50% bodyweight through a full range-of-motion now.
