Hang in there, Jay! All the rock climbing and rappelling will still be there after your shoulder fully heals.

Re: Achilles versus Rotator cuff
Update - Had my 6 month (and last) meeting with the surgeon this morning. He OK'd me to start doing some scrambling (C3/4) but told me to back off thinking about any sort of climbing gym for a bit. Healing when you are old takes time! (damn). Anyway, I'd like to do a little test of some C3 stuff before I commit to doing Pyramid later this month. Can anyone suggest something close to Denver and relatively easy that fits the bill? I've done Kelso Ridge several times and it is pretty easy but I don't want to fight the summer crowds. The Sawtooth isn't what I would call C3 - maybe just one or two moves and again, there are the crowds at the TH. Any ideas? I'd like something short and sweet to give the shoulder a test. Thanks!!!!!
