Sean and Bk texted me to see if I was up for a long 3 day weekend trip to the Chattanooga Area. I just so happened was wanting to get away for a dedicated weekend of climbing. We took off Friday and was able to get into Rocktown about midday. Little did I know that I few hrs I would be written off as a total loss.
I was just finished warming up on the enterance boulder and started to mess around on “Soap on a Rope.” I was dumb and trying to force a left exit to the problem and had my left leg extend really far. Then all of a sudden my leg tension release and hear a pop and felt looseness in my hip. After rolling in the ground for a while and having my leg lock up with cramps, I had torn my hamstring pretty badly. I was able to photograph and hobble around the rest of the day, but a long slow hike out to the car. Some tear where shed.
Load up on espum salt and painkillers and took may hot baths at the AirBnB. The next day, was a repeat of slow hiking, teaching myself to walk again. I just hung out and took photos thru the day. Had a nice nap along a stream. BK and Sean had good day and puts down a good tick list
The last day, I attempted to climb V0 but it proved my leg was too far gone, and instead just took the day as another day in the woods. RIP HAMMY.
