The weekend was spectacular. We went to an area called Fauson not but an hour away from Mazamet for some beautiful craging. Line after line of beautiful limestone routes. We all banned together on two 5c’s (5.10a) to start with, and then à chaqu’un son gout (to each his own). I climbed this beautiful 6b (5.10d) to start on and then up my first 7b (5.12a/b) with two big rests. I was so inspired by the movement there and excited that I didn’t have any pain in my arm that I got on a 6c (5.11b) that was super delicate and technical. You had to stay in balance the whole time, all the holds were positive, but just enough that you couldn’t rest all the way through. I was having one of my best climbing days. I could feel my technique changing, using my feet and body much better than normal. More flowing up the rock than climbing 'comme un caillou qui tombe' (like a falling rock).
Then, the morning after…disaster. The same pain, the same place, and rest for another month.
Injured once again. This elbow just continues to be giving me problems. Tendinitis that just won't go away. I haven’t lost heart just yet, I am still high off the climb, but I hope I don’t. There isn’t a lot of asking why, because I know that this isn’t a punishment, but at the same time there is still some ‘slowness’ that I am learning.

it's great to hear about a day of clean movement up those routes. good work.
well, you can always smoke cigarettes. That was what got me through tendinitis.
Hunter, I am praying for you and your elbow. I am not sure that smoking cigarettes really helps tendinitis it never helped me with any of my physical struggles, but hey what do I know anyway. I do have a few secrets for arthritis and muscle relief that I am willing to share. But the number one thing I have learned is to open yourself up, all of your ideas of who you are and what your body is and let Jesus speak about those things. I miss you and I am praying for you often!
hi hunter! i found your blog! i just wanted to say hi, you're missed, and i hope you feel better and can get to climbing again soon:) blessings, kristen
ps: cigarettes help me with ALLLLLLLLLLLL my problems.
