In reply to shaslam00632:
Standard practice for fractures in the ankle area is six weeks in a cast/non-weight bearing, if its a bad fracture you may have a further 6 weeks of being non-weight bearing. Then you have the fun of physio and 'learning' to walk again.
Advice, build your muscle strength back up as quickly (pain-freely) as you can (you lose muscle mass/strength 3x faster than it is gained) when you can weight-bear before you start climbing - swimming is excellent as it is a low impact full body cardio sport/exercise you can do post wear bearing.
In the mean time, finger board sessions would probably be your best shout, unless you want to climb with one leg on top-rope...

Good luck with the recovery, and getting back into climbing!!
It took me 7 months to get back top-ropping after my broken and dislocated ankle (talus bone fracture, two screws). Two years on, I am climbing harder and better than before my accident - so don't give up hope, ever!
