I would have gone headfirst, but I just got a new helmet because my other two had cracks. No way will I be climbing in October; it takes two weeks just to get to the point where it is not too painful to get out of bed. Couple of years ago when I did this to the other side of my ribcage I re-injured after 5 weeks when I gently picked up a ladder to clean the gutters. That lead to another two months of down time. Right now, coughing sucks, lifting my arm over my head is not an enjoyable event, just driving down the road is uncomfortable.
The route was definitely 5.7 until the end
