Proximal Phalange, Left Hand
Ring finger, middle joint; my first real damage. I was working on a bouldering route at the House of Pain™ when I matched my left hand to my right on a fairly small hold, and loaded up my body's weight on to the ring finger of my left hand. It made a noise that reminded me of a dog eating a chicken and I hit the crash pad.
I am wondering right now if it's broken, dislocated, or just all torn to crap, and I've taken some Ibuprofen. As you can see it really isn't swollen all that much, despite a fair amount of pain -- so maybe I am just a wimp.
I did continue to climb with it for about an hour. I might regret that.

Phoenix' Seven Summits
That's Phoenix behind me. From the top of Camelback Mountain. Photo compliments of the Happy Hiking Buddy -- © 2005.
Described here, the seven summits. Simple problem; climb each of Phoenix's seven summits. No sweat. Easy. The farthest of the lot is 7 miles to the top of South Mountain and back. I've already done Camelback.
But that's pretty casual. Just to make things interesting, let's do it all in a single day, especially since I am not really close by.
Here are the details:
Shadow | 1 mile | 440 ft climb | Moderate |
Lookout | 1 | 475 | Strenuous |
North | 1.6 | 614 | Moderately Strenuous |
Shaw Butte | 5 | 670 | Moderately Strenuous |
Piestawa Peak | 2.4 | 1190 | Strenuous |
South | 7 | 1310 | Strenuous |
Camelback | 2.3 | 1300 | Strenuous |
20.3 Miles | 5999 feet uphill |
Seems like it might make for a compelling hike. Some time in March, while it's still cool. Care to join me?

It's About the Weather ...
Anyway, I went out for a short hike from the campground this morning. Turned into about 6 miles including the Blevins loop and the Wind Cave trails. Very cool.
Morning sun moonscape.
This bee hive at the top of the wind cave trail.
And all these (22) people going up to look at them.
Blevins trail with the Superstitions in the distance.
Desert Check
Outerwear? Oh, you know -- shorts and a t-shirt.
ummm ... 6 liters of water, raincoat, long johns, wool hat, first aid kit with ice pack, map, compass, gps, headlamp, flashlight, light stick, batteries, gatorade, margarita power bloks. Outerwear.
That's the Pass Mountain in the background ...
What is this bird?
Phoenix's brown cloud oozes toward me -- threateningly.
