Hey hey,

so I was climbing on an autobelay with very small crimps the whole way up, and I ended up crimping so hard that after, I noticed I had popped a v small blood vessel or capillary in my forearm (on my pinky finger side). It was v small, didn’t really hurt, but I knew from the swelling and the slight discoloration. I stopped climbing and rested a few days and all is well now.

This is the first time this has happened, but I’m really trying to push grades and train crimps. And I would like to prevent this from happening again in the future.

Anyone know anything I should do?

Is it a matter of changing how i train?

Would love to know if y’all know of a supplement or vitamin?

(I do bruise super easily, I think those are related?)
