Mt Nemo, Milton, ON

Got out to do a few climbs yesterday, not to mention a great deal of hiking (both on the top of the crag on the well-maintained easy trails and also along the rocky path at the bottom of the cliff on the rubble of rocks...). It was great exercise for my ankle! It took me ages to do the hiking/scrambling along the bottom but I would say it's equivalent to about 3+ weeks worth of "wobble-board exercises"! I had to go pretty slow and really concentrate and be careful about foot placement. My physio therapist should be impressed! The ankle is getting better and she says it's a pretty fast recovery - faster than most of her patients who have hurt themselves to a lesser degree! Yeay! I'm coming back! Watch out!

White's Bluff, Lion's Head, ON

The first "unsupported" LeftLeg photo standing on the right leg since March! This past long weekend we went to the Bruce Peninsula. I used one of my hiking poles and managed the approach along the Bruce Trail without too many issues (although slow at times). We had 4 days we were able to visit Lion's Head, White's Bluff and TV Tower Crag. All are very beautiful. My boyfriend did some climbing and I tried top-roping a few of the easier climbs just to see how far I could push my ankle. It was very tired afterwards and I could tell I had used it, (a lot of those muscles haven't returned to normal after 5 months of atrophy), but they ARE getting better every day! We had a great time and I was so happy to [somewhat] be doing the things I enjoy again!
