Yesterday's climb session was an unexpected high point on the graph. i went to run some errands, and squeezed past an off-handed, "Hey you mind if i pop in for a quick workout, eh?" After working in the yard for a few days without showering, i smelled like a road-tripping Euro, so in spite of the throngs at the gym i had a conspicuous bubble of elbow room everywhere i went. No waiting in line. They'd put up a ton of new routes. A sparkling beam of light shone from Heaven upon me, and i sent nearly everything.
By the numbers, i pulled down 2 v5s (both of which went at v4), 3 v4s (two of which went at solid 3 and one at v2ish), and a couple of 3s (that may actually have been v3). Also almost ticked a pumpy roof problem that'll go at 3+/4 i think. It was strange cuz i just kept not being tired. By the time i left, i'd hooked up nearly 10 problems in the v3 range or harder. That'd be a new PR for me. Don't know if it was the three "rest days" of nearly no sleep, or if it was the Surge workout drink (although i'm getting a li'l superstitious about the stuff--i've brung the bizzle every time i haul that expensive stuff with me*) but i kept watching folks work problems and i'd think Man, that looks hard..i don't know if i've got that in me, and then i'd flash it. Just felt like a monster. If i could figure out what went right, i might just get really strong.
Hopefully i'll get my li'l campus wall uphauled today. i'll post up some pics if it happens.
*You gotta get you a bucket of the stuff and tell me if it works for you. They make miraculous claims about it, and i've had really good workouts on it, but your workouts are way more structured than mine. You could give me a more scientific take.

I'll have to give that stuff a shot. As long as it’s not as repulsive as the Surge Recovery crap.
I think you should just post up your wall and leave it until your homeowners association makes you take it down.
i've got a plan. i'm'a cut it down about two feet. i can do that without seriously affecting the cool factor, and it'll be less obtrusive. Also i'm gunna prettify the sides so it'll attract less attention. Maybe then it'll ride.
And go with the fruit punch. Haven't tried the other flavor (if there is another flavor), but the fruit punch is really tasty.
How bout some pics from Yosimite?
