I've spent a fair few months away from climbing.. around 5 months, partly due to a finger injury and also lack of climbing where I was. Although I think my fitness is better now, due to a lot of walking and cycling; whatever previous climbing ability I had seems to have left me.

I was climbing indoors with friends and everything seemed so very difficult. It probably just something I need to work on a bit, and soon my form will return. Also my 'comfy-ish' shoes were killing me!

Any tips for getting back to form??

In reply to Dafydd Llywelyn:

No tips from me as I'm in the same boat. An hour down the bouldering wall and my butterfly wing-fragile skin, my cooked-spaghetti fingers and I were sent packing.

I'll be interested to see people's answers, but I expect the overriding answer will be 'climb more'.

Drop few grades and work back up. I had a twenty year lay-off and nearly died on the come-back. Re-set my aspirations/ability level and am now almost back to where I used to be, but it has taken some time and effort.
