Ow.
I. Hurt. Went climbing tonight, and tried to work on technique. Ow. Technique hurts. Theoretically, it's much more efficient than the brute force approach I've used in the past, but holy jesus fuck am I sore. I can't *wait* to see if I can get out of bed in the morning.
Oh, and that fleshy bit between your thumb and forefinger? Yeah, it doesn't fit in the belay device. Trust me, it tried. I'm surprised the skin didn't rip. Note to self: NEVER let the locking hand be less than 6" from said device. Ever.
Man, I love climbing. :D
(Yes, frank, you can commence laughing at my pain...)
