Best Climbing Experience

Anything Else We Should Know
i got tennis elbow from doing to much climbing and not stretching..it took 4 weeks of no climbing at all to even start to heal up..but..once you have had a break it can be quite hard to get that mommentum going again..im at this stage now..its hard to stop..but, its also proving hard to start again also..!! maybe the weathers not helping, its gone quite rough in the past 2 months iv had off..but then again last year i climbed all thro out the winter come rain or shine..so its no excuse really...so keep at it, its too good a thing to stop doing..!!
