It has been getting harder and harder to sit through the beautiful fall/winter days that keep unfolding before me. But I know that with each passing day my ankle is slowly starting to make its way back to its previous state.
Today was my greatly anticipated doctor’s appointment. X-rays were taken and after what felt like days, the doctor came in to diagnose the healing effort. I was happy to hear that it has been healing very well and properly. I still am in my boot for one more month but am now able to weight the foot 100 percent all the time as well as begin some minor physical therapy exercises. It was a great feeling to be heading in the right direction again!
In one month I will be able to walk without the boot freely as I please and shortly after that I will be getting the screw removed from my ankle and I will be back climbing again in no time!!! The wait has definitely been very mind numbing and days have grown ever so long but it looks like I have gone over that final hump and the end is getting ever closer.
I head back to Boulder in little over one month to start up another semester at the University of Colorado. Until then I plan to continue the training I have been as well as start to gain the mobility and strength back into my left ankle.

Good, now get you ass back here so we can go climbing again! Enough is enough already. Projects are building up like whoa! Yeah, last year's list was good and you crossed 'em off (resonated, infinte, leeroy jenkins, honeymilker, tragidy, etc, etc) but we're finding much, much better this year. Would you believe a Spectre in Flatirons? psyched -Andy
Nice Dude! That is effin' RAD! You'll be crushing blocs with your pinkies in no time now!
hey dude, what is going on. you were very close to your 2008 tick list. I think it is cool to be willing to publish your goals for the upcoming year. Now do not hold back and give us the list. you can make your training video later. also, aren't you going to go ride the big waves on the northshore this month? thxs
