Just got back from two days at Rumbling Bald. It would appear that I can still three hang .10c and boulder V2 with the sketchiest of them.
My partners were on a tear and pretty much crushed everything in sight. She snagged her first V4 and he ticked off multiple V7's and an impressive flash of a .12a gear line.
Weather was pretty cherry. Cold at night but plenty warm by midmorning. Good trip.

Although with a little luck we'll get some gym sesh in, in the next couple of daze. Headed to the gym tonight. I'm going climbing this weekend regardless. Even if I have to fly solo.

But still my shoulders were sore. Abs still sore, althought the metal work I did over the new year prolly contributed to that.

I made it through my road trip.
Tahoe
Alta
Ouray
Mesa Verde National Park
Grand Canyon
Skizering for the first two destinations. Powder, powder, powder.
It's too bad they only let skizers into Alta. But nobody cares that I skied Alta...
Ouray
Ouray is fucking bad. ass. Yes. Yes.
Mesa Verde and the Grand Canyon were all about playing tourist. Did a hike at the grand and had a -13 wakeup (that's -25 for you C folks) both days.
Alas, I'm not back at home... yippie.

Get better soon. Were you able to continue boarding?
luckily that was on the last run of the day, and we had a rest/snowshoe day lined up the day after. I finished out the trip on skis

Alta iz nice. been a while but I almost lost a ski in sum powder thar once. Took us a half an hour 2 find. Buddy dug it up, I bought his beer at lunch. Oury got th eice park awl going?
I was proactive and put my powder retrieval devices on my skis at Alta. I knew better. Though I didn't fall at all. But I have done the powder swim to look for skis too many times. I have a bright orange flag I attach to my bindings now for powder.
Ouray is in for the season and they are farming some new stuff to be open for the ice fest. The comp route looks bad-ass and the place is a playground of sorts. Don't have to do much other than set up shop and move 5 feet uphill all day.

Going to do some sport wanking tomorrow. Should be nice and cold and partners should suffer tremendously, which will greatly enhance my enjoyment of the experience.

Short boulder problems kick my butt regardless of how many routes I can do in a day. Bouldering is hard.

Back in the summer, we did 10 longer roots at the other gym, with out much difficulty. Now the short bouldering routes are kicking me but. which leaves me in a pickel. Do I get a punch card for the new bouldering gym, 2 miles from home. After Fri, I was inclined to do so. And hit it once a week. Even though most of the roots are way out of my leauge. Or do I start pushing for the TR gym another 15 miles up the road? Where I'll need to talk someone into joining me as a partner. ah, such problems...
Hmmm, yes, a classic quandary.
When I find myself at the gym alone, or in a three person group, I usually look for another trio and make the one whos not doing anything at the moment climb with me. Sometimes they are a bit reluctant but they always cave if you just stand there and stare at them with an expectant look on your face. Works everytime.

Oh Sweet Jesus!
I haven't had a bruise that big since I fell out of a tree as a wee lad.
