Arriving for two consecutive days of climbing.
Arriving for two consecutive days of climbing.
It was a very good learning experience.
Climbing and descending mountain trails with a sore knee accelerates the learning iteration with Fail-fast because every movement that strains the knee immediately triggers a pain alert. Sense of using the stock to stabilize and shift the center of gravity forward
The sensation of seeing a step that is too large to lift a normal foot and expecting severe pain, and then finding a path that can be climbed by a combination of small steps and carving it up.
This is similar to bouldering.
The first thing to recognize is, "I can't reach this position."
How to stabilize with stock on the way down
This one broke because I put too much weight on the cane before I was fully proficient.
Too much weight is not good, maybe in the long run the upper arm will not be able to bear it.
On the second day, I was just holding the branch from the side, so adjusting the length was easy, and this allowed me to experience the difference in the appropriate length for different situations.
Short climbs, long descents.
But the climbing and descending is so varied that I'm not sure how to go about it with an adjustable-length type of stock.
