have ewe looked at the rowt listing that's up on hear, that shouldn't even be here? it's got rong all over it. calls subdivision 12a, has aurum (orum?) listed 3 times as 12c, then gives hillbilly and mortal combat both the same rating. it looks like it was all that asshat slablizard and some other guy putting the rowts online.

Blazing hot weather... sigh... Good jorb on those routes that I know nothing about, but good jorb anyway. Duntz worry, we'll be hitting the Red soon, like within a month. Still no idea how the climbing is going to be; I climbed with the Massholes at the local Boston gym, and got my as whooped. Did do a couple 5.11s with one foot, but most of the routes are not super steep, hence more footwork, hence really hard. They had a really nice 5.12-ish off fingers crack (which I believe GO has glory-zent? Let us know before you GTFO), but I only managed to get halfway up it, again, the lack of a foot was hard. But, I'm doing better and I think getting better enduro in Kinetic. Bummed that I had to skip campusing, but there was no whey to do it safely. Well, theoretically, (and I ONLY mean theoretically, bc Heffe might kill me in my sleep) RRG is 51 and sunny this coming weekend. While NRG is 46 and rainy on Fri/Sat. Not that i would check something like that... I mean, why would I do such a theoretical thing? I wuz actually considering a trip to the New this wknd; Drivel will be out of town, and Jung is throwing a potluck. Might be fun, just to see friends, hang out, maybe TR a few things at Bridge or Junkyard. Unfortunately, the Jung bash is on Sunday night, though. Hmm. However, "theoretically," it would be cool to go to the Red, too, use your rockstar pass to drive in Muir, and toprope the shit out of some 5.9s. I'll bet I could do Air Ride Equipped with one leg!
Sigh, I dunno. I keep looking at the weather. The chance of rain on Friday night went up (80%), and the temps for the weekend dropped down some, though the chance of rain for the weekend dropped too. If not for thew Friday rain, I would be calli9ng this weekend perfect. but this early in the season I worry that Friday rain will ruin things for the weekend.
I probably should just stay in town, Heffe and I have local indoor climbing plans, which should be fun...
but I want ROCK, dammit!
Had a really hard time motivating for my campus workout last night. I was in the psyched mode all winter, and all of a sudden these past few days I just hit the winter blahs. Really badly.
Yesterday was definitely a high-gravity day. Started out with some " easy" toprope warmup laps, and felt like crap, flash-pumped on stuff I shouldn't have even felt any pump on, then fell off the route that I flashed and thought easy...
Did campusing anyway... felt like I was moving through molasses on the first few sets, barely completing the things I did during the previous workout. Then something clicked, and on the bump up/downs I surprised myself by doing an extra rep on each side. Some of the psychiness came back after that, and I was able to finish the session.
Tried two-handed jumps for the first time. My timing is REALLY off on those, but I don't think it is out of the realm of possibilities. And also, for the first time ever, felt like I could actually DO a move skipping two rungs... at least bump up to it. Who knows, maybe on the next low-gravity day?

yeah, but if the point is to not have it publicized in any way, then whether or not it is remotely accurate doesn't matter, no?

Sounds like you may have peaked on your Max Recruitment phase. Try one more campus sesh, and if it is "high gravity," move onto PE.

I'd like to check it out a bit more and it's not somewhere I can go on a long weekend (unlike the Red and the New), but I can still drive there. Plus, I figure it'll be decently warm in early March.
You wanna come? Could use a rope gun.

Oh, and on the subject of carp, on facespace I said "holy carp," the other day, and a friernd of mine said, "haha, damn auto-correct!" To which Kel replied, "not auto-correct, it's gerk speak!"

You wanna come? Could use a rope gun.
Depends on what the weather is like at the Red for that weekend. Are you thinking Obed, or Chattanooga area? And are you specifically tied to early March?

CI showed up on Monday and came within about two moves of onsighting Hillbilly, but fortunately fucked up the beta at the top. the rock up there kicks ass. really fun climbing with a lot of sidepulls, underclings, holds that are shit until you get your feet oriented correctly and they become really good. not super overhung, but enough that the lack of ledges creates a pretty serious pump. Blazing hot weather... sigh... Good jorb on those routes that I know nothing about, but good jorb anyway. Yeah it was a good time with favorable conditions. A lot of fun, I generally dread going there and getting overwhelmed by the crowds. Was able to get on the stuff we wanted with no prob though. That hillbilly limestone was bad ass, I can't believe I almost flashed the thing. Bad read on a hard to see hold up high cost me the OS. Still, it was a good burn and I'm happy with the effort and the 2nd try send. Got a nice OS of the subdivision too, before I got the total beatdown on President's day (which I tried on President's day.) Good to hang out and slander those who weren't present, and I'm more motivated to get back out there. Now, if only I can convince my traddie friends to go back... have ewe looked at the rowt listing that's up on hear, that shouldn't even be here? it's got rong all over it. calls subdivision 12a, has aurum (orum?) listed 3 times as 12c, then gives hillbilly and mortal combat both the same rating. it looks like it was all that asshat slablizard and some other guy putting the rowts online. Yes, it is basically worthless, which is good. yeah, but if the point is to not have it publicized in any way, then whether or not it is remotely accurate doesn't matter, no?
agreed, but its a drop of water in the worthless firehose. hard to find, hard to use, no updates in several years. Better to let the sleeping dog lie.

We'll see how I'm feeling in March, I may be psyched on it. it seems like the sort of area that would be hard to climb one-footed. Carp.
a lot of sidepulls and underclings; moving your feet around to put yourself in the right position, turning bac, and forth a lot, is pretty key to making the holds good. I guess you could just turn everything into a 13.

Foot should be recovering by then, but all the best stuff in Chattarado is either tard or bouldering, both of which I'll be staying away from this season. Where you gonna be?
I'll have to talk with my friend John. I think he was keen on Obed, but I have friends who live in Chattanooga.

I can go later March, but by April the weather should be getting good enough to climb around here (though I'll probably hit the Red or the New over Easter weekend).
