We're still in lockdown in the UK - leaving full lockdown for tier 2 measures means not much has changed for me other than the ability to socialize outside (In the UK in December - fun) and the fact that climbing gyms are open. I am a key worker that cannot work from home so climbing is the only thing that breaks up the monotony of 8 hours in the office and sitting on the sofa at home.
I tweaked my shoulder weeks ago climbing in the Peak District but honestly would rather just deal with the pain for now and take the rest period if/when climbing gyms are forced to shut again or I can actually do something other than sit outside or stand at the end of the driveway and chat to friends/family in frigid temperatures.
Edit: I'm getting a lot of feedback which I'm seriously thankful for - a lot of it is contradictory but the general consensus seems to be not to ignore the injury. I should probably clarify I'm not completely ignoring it, i'm resting it as much as possible and if/when I do climb it is incredibly light bouldering well below my flash grade, being sure to avoid any particularly shouldery moves. I am also going to go back to my physiotherapist who has diagnosed previous climbing injuries for me. Thanks all!
