May have just torn my A5 pulley. Anyone else done this? What's the treatment and when can I climb again?

You should be better sometime after we get back from Maple, Danny. You'll be fine to belay us though.

I did my A1's on my middle and ring fingers of my left hand last Nov. I took six weeks off. My middle is totally better but my ring finger still only 75%. It's going to hurt for a while. All I can suggest is suck it up buddy. Tape it up and take the skirt off. :)
