Finished midterms. (Hallelujah!) Still in school. Intense li'l week. i'm hardly ready for another week, but i'm glad to be done with that 'un.
Climbed yesterday. Wasn't gonna go in, but a friend asked me to teach her to lead, so i thought it'd be a nice easy day. Did end up doing some good toproping for a decent enduro sesh; then went up to the cave to boulder a bit. Put in a few burns on my project. i got the finish from the halfway point. i raced to the crux from the beginning--it's a bicycled heel hook to get to a li'l crimp match hanging inverted from the ceiling. i stuck it, but my heel didn't feel latched perfectly. i screamed my way to the finish, got one hand on, and my heel popped. One third of a second longer, and i would'a sent; but NO! Now i have to do it again. Ah well...it's a fun climb at least. But it does inspire me to lose a pound or two.
Also got the go-ahead to purchase a slice of plywood. i'm building a three-tiered hangboard wall. Got the idea from the gym, and it's a good one. Kind of an inverted staircase of hangboards/system holds. Also i'm gonna install a pullup bar. Then if i can score a set of gym rings for the birthday, i should have a right proper li'l workout setup. And this'll allow me to make my big wall into more of a campus/system wall like i'd originally intended. Now if i could just convince my lard-encumbered booty to go for a run, i might start shaping into a good climber.
