Chin chin

Owww, I split my chin open at the climbing works.

I was on a vertical bit of wall climbing the purples and I know a lot of the holds at the works are filthy but it didn't feel like my foot had moved. The next thing I knew I was lying on the floor having dropped vertically, catching my chin on the way. It felt like a glancing blow but I discovered that my chin was close to dripping. Oops.

After a couple of people finished getting their teas, I was handed a first aid kit and I patched myself up. I was having a good session up to the point of trying to catch a hold with my chin, so was up for continuing. I'd planned to do half the purple circuit before campus work, so I was half way through the session. Unfortunately the place was filling up and the campus area was heaving. Too much chalk and testosterone to get a decent session in so I came home for lunch and a proper patch up.

I'm off to the Foundry now to finish my training in a hopefully less chalky atmosphere. Do you think a taped up chin look will catch on?
