The Tor, again. Micah, Justin, Hawk, Marcela and I gave the Tor our best on Saturday. And again, it wasn’t good enough. Micah had big plans for The Sea – didn’t happen. Marcela and Hawk had planned on crushing Power – way didn’t happen. I thought I might take down No Skill – ridiculously did… Continue reading Saturday again

first wood
Andy, Justin, Marcela and I campused early this morning at the Shed. Andy was real close to 5-1-5 on the bigs. My elbows felt a little fragile so I passed on drops, opting instead for up moves and two-finger work. 1-3-6 went down on the bigs, felt kinda hard on the flat/rounds and I did… Continue reading first wood

Caveman
Andy, Micah, Marcela, Bridget and I checked out the Caveman cliff yesterday evening. It’s been a while since I was out climbing in to the wee hours, and it’s been never since I was at Caveman, and it was rad. .zg_div {margin:0px 5px 5px 0px; width:117px;} .zg_div_inner {border: solid 1px #000000; background-color:#000000; color:#666666; text-align:center; font-family:arial,… Continue reading Caveman

Rather than punish myself in Santa Maria, I slept a bunch, swam a… Continue reading no Tor for me
first wood
Justin, Andy and Brian met me at the Shed this morning for some early campusing. Things felt good. I did some four and two-finger work over all 3 sets of rungs, most notably: caught 5-1 drop on bigs, finished 4-1-4 on flat/rounds and ushered in the two-finger campusing season by finishing 1-2 two-finger on the… Continue reading first wood
late iron
Lifted late afternoon yesterday, opting to swim before work. So, by the time 5:30 PM came around I was not a raging bundle of energy. But things came together, as they usually do, once I started pushing the weights around. This turned out to be a good session, and a good fitness day. da numbers:… Continue reading late iron
like Disney Land for climbers
The Tor gained a new fan today. Nicholas, whom I had not met before, was way psyched on the routes at Owl Tor. And I was way psyched to see him psyched. One of us, one of us, one of us… I am actually declaring Nicholas today’s Lord of the Forest for his rad comment,… Continue reading like Disney Land for climbers
