Re: ooo...I nipped the very top of the big toe on my right foot and burned my finger tips when my dachstein mitt cracked open and I had to grab a rock hold for a few seconds. Everything but the very black tissue recovered.

NiceJust out of curiosity- what were the lingering effects from this, if any? Did you experience a loss of feeling for a few years? Were you more susceptible to the cold on this toe for a while? (I have a friend who got some frost bite on his thumb when we were on Aconcagua a few years back, and he still has some loss of feeling)

Re: NiceI lost half of my big toe and the top knuckle of the toe next to it. I had the phantom limb effect for a few years (my toe itched like crazy but there was nothing to scratch.) I've had to be careful about the cold ever since because I don't feel the numbness when my toes get cold.
