Well this is not exactly what happened to me but maybe something similar:the soles of my feet turned green and my toe nails fell out. I tried a bunch of things and eventually found a solution. It took a while though. :wink:

Best, Kim

happened to me after a 10 hour day. There wasn't any pain, but the color returns to normal eventually. Ice them.

Last time my fingers turned deep purple, my mom got pissed off that I still couldn't get Smoke on the Water right after 3 days of practice.

It happened to me once when I popped off a dime edge. Hurt like hell, but was climbing again a week later..
