Igor pro crack4/1/2024 I'm holding out hope that once I'm strong enough to warm up on 10s and jam on 11s It'll be ok because they will be cleaner falls. I have taken plenty of lead falls in the gym, but as everyone is aware, outdoors (especially moderate grade routes) have a lot more texture and crap to hit and thus more dangerous by nature. I fear that the limited ROM will result in an injury where a normal ankle would flex/articulate to absorb impact. I have almost no range of motion in any direction. I have what's essentially a complete ankle fusion. I'm curious what taking lead falls is/was like. Unfortunately, in other words, I've not been able to use it as a viable excuse for my flailing :). But even if so, don't let it stop you! I've known people with that fusion who climb just fine, and I've been amazed at how well my body has naturally learned to adapt to movements that are essentially "blocked" by my fusion. If that's the site of the fusion, I've heard it's quite a different story and requires lots of changes to crack technique and strategy. The subtalar joint, on the other hand, is the one responsible for inversion. Takes a little playing around to get the feel, sure, but it sounds like you had a good trial run the other day to demonstrate. This is what I had been told by my surgeon and physical therapist, and the anatomy of it makes sense (since talus-tibia is an up & down hinge joint), and that has certainly been my experience in the time since my fusion - i.e. If it's at the talus-tibia joint, you really should be fine. ankle inversion, or turning it inward) depends on where you're fused. Hi Page, my right ankle (at the talus-tibia joint) has been fused for almost a decade - how it affects crack climbing (i.e.
