Nice! Now you will be even busier, and will climb even less.

have the signatures on the form that says I get to duel at dawn for my right to call myself Dr. Ivel.
Soon I will eat and sleep again, at regular intervals! and maybe even start getting back into it.

So I'm climbing pretty good right now. Along with re-redpointing my hardest send earlier this summer I've started adding a few new ones too!
I'm a little surprised I sent my project yesterday. I got on it a few times last year with the intentions of projecting it, but then I hurt my finger. This year it was only my third day working on it.
Last weekend I send another hard route, but declared it soft, but after yesterday perhaps it wasn't quite as soft as I thought it was.

Hey Lena!
Was looking at the resoling thread where you were saying you find a resole changes the character of your shoes. I'm a little surprised because don't you wear Sirens most of the time? I'm only say that because I don't find a loss of performance with my Katanas on a resole, but the Katanas aren't the most sensitive shoes out there regardless (not sure what I'm going to do when my Boreal Cruxes blow out).
Just curious.

Actually, that was on a resole of Testarossa's that i felt the shoe shape really changed for the worse. I have resoled Sirens in the very beginning, and they were fine. I am climbing in Testarossa's again, since this spring, because the new Sirens are not at all what I want. They lined them and now they might as well be wooden clogs.
But it didn't make sense for me to resole the Sirens for the last couple years either, bc I got them on prodeal, so there really wasn't any money saving in doing it. And towards the end, the last couple pairs, I felt that the the quality of the leather had gone down. I had a couple of cases where the shoe lace had cut through the leather loops in just a couple of months (5.10 exchanged them for free), and pretty much my last two pairs, by the time the rubber blew out, the stitching was coming undone on the uppers, too, and they were not worth resoling. I had seriously considered resoling them again, when 5.10 changed the design, but instead decided to get a pair of Testarossas again, and remembered that i used to really like them.

Got back on it and scent today. Was actually touch-and-go. The move that's been tantalizing me for a week, hanging in after-image as I close my eyes to sleep every day, went down easy. But then I discovered that I was pumped, and the "easy" sequence following it (which is to say, it felt easy right off a hang last week) nearly spit me off.
Then the wife got on a hard route for her, and had the same damn experience as I had last week. She missed on handhold - woulda been one of her hardest onsights, but she had to settle for the redpoint, which she got the next burn, pretty easily.
And the rednecks who were camping (with a truck, a massive trailer, two dirtbikes, and a big tent) in the spot where I park for this crag, and who told me to beat it because they had more people coming, and wanted to squeeze them all in, did not in any way fuck with my car all day, so that was a big bonus.

On the same awkward topic, had a bit of a big D party last night. Much drinking was involved. Not too different from any other night in Fayettenam. It was solid type IV+ fun, though.

It was a curious juxtaposition that seemed to be asking for attention, no? OK, I get it - too soon.

It's a proof that random dates can co-incide. And if the monkey types long enough, it would recreate Shakespear, or something like that.

Makes way more sense with the Testarossas. Figured the Sirens would resole much the same as my Katanas (ie - they're not an overly high-tech shoe).
Speaking of lining shoes....I picked up a pair of Forces a couple years ago for a crack/general trad climbing shoe (which worked out well BTW), but they assed cushing to the ankle, etc. I've heard a lot of bad things about them now.

Yeah, don't you hate it when they go on and change up the shoes?
I mena, I get it, they have to keep coming up with new models, and sometimes there is genuine technology breakthrough, like a new rubber, or slingshot rand, or something, but most of the time it seems like they are just tinkering with stuff for the sake of making things look new and fresh, and this tinkering is not always for the better.
