Can't you just TR something really hard while you're at a peak? Blasphemy! It's a good idea, but most projects I have my eye on are not really TR-able. They are either overhanging or have traverses - pretty normal on routes in the Grampians. Could possibly follow, but I'll need to find someone that wants to lead my potential project - could be a little tough. I still think I can go bolt to bolt without risking a huge whipper.

She thought it was mechanical - so no disc injury or anything. She thinks I've just compressed/bruised some of the tissue between two the 'spinous process' and that the rest of my back muscles have tightened up to stabalize it. That's by far the most common and most likely thing to have. I would feel comfortable with that assessment.

Thanks - it's always comforting when others have heard of, or had a similar injury.

I just stickclip up the route to hang draws and clip the rope, then fix the rope up top and traxion the route. It's an extra 10 mins of work to prepare for the TR, and maybe the better choice (despite the blasphemy!).

It looks like my decision has been made for me anyway, the weather forecast has changed and the Grampians is going to get 3 inches of rain over the weekend
