So, the big exciting news of the week is that I've decided to call it quits on Learning to Fly until fall. Temps are heating up here in Moablandia, but that's not really a good excuse. Actually, I think the crack has gotten bigger. No, really. Everytime I go to clip I can feel my ringlocks sliding out. It's terrifying, and really, the only possible explanation is that the crack has grown.
Plus, last night I was chatting with French-Canadian climber Peewee, and apparently he injured a lateral ligament in his finger about a year ago and it's still bothering him when he climbs finger cracks. His injury sounded really similar to the way my finger has been feeling -- only worse -- so I decided the wise thing to do would be to "just say no."

And no it is. But what now? Maybe sport climbing. Hmmmm. I'll have to ponder this.
