I went climbing again today -- this time not wearing the cast, but instead wearing a hiking boot, tightly laced, on my left ankle. This seemed to work pretty well, actually. The hiking boot is far more useful than the cast for holds, and I climbed pretty well. I did back off on one move (on a 5.10a) that I felt was too risky -- it was a power move on my left foot, with a poor hold that I was worried about slipping off and then hurting myself. But, I was glad to make it that far on the route. And, I did a few things, without pain, that I wasn't sure I would be able to do. I did, though, place my left foot VERY carefully when I was placing it on holds. (Actually, that is good practice, I should always place my feet carefully, it is an important climbing skill.)
