26.9.7 :-)

This week's climbing is worth writing down, methinks. Went in on...was it sunday?... for a quick burn, and crushed a tweaky, super-thin v2 crimp ladder that'd been spitting me off for the previous coupla' sessions. Then i sent a v3 i'd been working on for a while. Nice feeling, but i had to take serious the tendonitis in the ol' R. bicep that i'd been theretofore trying studiously to deny the existence of. Finally gave it up to spare a li'l tendon. Today i shot in before chemistry just to keep the fingers limber, warmed up with a v3 flash (deja vu, i.e.), flashed another v3, and then sent a v4 on the third try. Think i coulda' flashed that too, but i got my foot sequence screwed up on the first two tries. Then i hooked up with this cat that was doing several of the same problems, and he asked me to help him work a 3. Didn't get that one (it involves twisting out of an overhang on a thumb-catch to a bad slopey pinch, and my thumb tol' me it'd already done quite enough suspension of my rotund abdomen, thank-you-very-much), but i did get an arm-intensive footless v1 roof traverse. i may not be able to straighten my arm tomorrow, and every tendon in my forearms creaks when i extend my wrists, but i just racked up one of my biggest number days yet, so i'll forgive me, and take some ibuprofen. Now if i could just get below 200lbs...
