New Toys

I recently received support for my winter kit from Grivel so this meant a visit to the prosthetics guys at Raigmore Hospital the other week. we had a bit of a discussion on angles etc for the axes and the guys got to work chopping my Quantum Race tools up and I picked up the finished products yesterday.

 

 

Trying out the mixed version of my prosthetic

 

Today I headed down to the Ice Factor to try out the results. Its really handy having this place local to test these out instead of realising faults while in Norway or Italy etc. The guys there (Jamie B , Andy , Kieran) were good enough to help out with belaying and taking the pics.

 

The shorter ice version in action

They both seemed to work fine in here but I'll need to wait till winter to really find out.

Rehab began in earnest yesterday with my first visit to Physio and I've got a bit more damage than first expected. It looks very likely that I'll have to write off any winter climbing plans for this season which is gut wrenching but after speaking to the Physios and doctors it seems I really am lucky to only have the injuries I do.
