26.4.8

i clumb yesterday, but it wasn't worth much. Did get a nice burn in, but it was a low concentration day. Plus i had to borrow some (crappy) shoes from the gym and i didn't have any chalk cuz i left all my gear in Steph's car. Climbing is way harder without chalk. Today Ouma took the kids to the zoo, so i went back to see what'd happen for the second day in a row. Turns out it's a dang good idear sometimes. Almost flashed a 5 first thing. Didn't get it, but i didn't try again. Climbed every three i could find, including at least one i hadn't linked before. After i couldn't pull any more 3s i did an enduro session on 1s and 0s. Ended up just pulling down a whole bunch of plastic. It was real encouraging to still be pulling that strong after that much climbing. The tapeworm's back i think, cuz i felt light and hungry, and that's good cuz there's an informal comp coming up this fri.

Oh, and i bought a new rope with the rei dividends, so i'm pretty amped to get on some rock. You should come visit me and climb.

Sounds fun. At least the visiting part. Rock climbing sounds painful, but I guess I'll give it a shot.

It is necessary that you not be a weakling or a wussy-baby.

hey... uh cody... i thought I'd start posting again.. and say that glenn invited us up for a session of climbing and subcutaneous ink. Also... i plan on buying a hangboard with my REI dividend, and I was wondering which one you liked, such as the moon board or the metolius one, and how to mount it to my wall. I have a good idea, and glenn passed some good knowledge. Anyway.... miss you bro. It will be nice to see you again.

Bryant! awesome to view your typings again, mate. i'm pretty amped about you 'uns coming up for some man time. i have a Metolius Simulator, an' it's a real nice li'l board. For the money, it's about the best one i've found. You can find some better boards, but you'll be laying down a C note or more on one. Plus REI sells 'em, and you can use your coupon and div. on it. i recommend looking for something with a basic crimp and pocket on it, and as many different slopers as possible. Open hand grips are most people's weakest link.
