Hi Tony! i just tried the set yesterday and today, and i think your grades are pretty fair. A general observation about the climbing, it seems like moves that need core stability are a little more tricky for you. I don't know what kind of training you do for climbing (besides just climbing) but it might be a good idea to mix in some planks or hanging leg raises. having a more stable core will allow you to keep your feet from popping loose as much on steeper inclines. Keep on climbing! 😊

Im glad to hear my grades are fair! I dont really do any training for climbing. After reading this comment I have started doing some core exercises. Since that seems to be my weakest part of climbing.

it's always the purples that catch the meat of your fingers in just the wrong way that leads to a tear I swear

They must be designed specifically to harm us.

Wash it well, and put a bandage with polysporin while you sleep. It will heal good enough in a few days, but you still have to tape it up while climbing until fully healed.

I also took Friday off to rest it extra well. Thanks for the tips!

New to buldring. Randomly tearing finger muscles sounds scary😬 Do you think it comes from bad gripping, or just over training/climbing too much without enough rest?

[@TonyClimbs]

Thankfully it was not a finger muscle! It was simply some skin on the finger it heals back pretty quick too! I mainly get them when i climb really hard or the holds are super new and extra grippy.
