Ewe awl disgust me.
Good day at the spurt carg. I was looking for a good techy prodge, but all the ones I got on felt like they'd kill my endurance that I've built, by being too slabby. Then I got on gud overhanging enduro routes, but wished that they were a bit more techy and cerebral. Then I found the perfect prodge: gets you pumped to the gourd, big thuggish moves, but the true crux is pure, vertical, insecure footwork. Fuel Injector, I am in luuurv.
That is awl.

I will be hitting some tard carcks on the western slope this weekend, myself. Pretty psyched about it, even if it's only a day and a half.
Not so psyched about the fact that my wife's boss, just five days before we were scheduled to fly to Red Rocks, decided that she can't go. I hate that dude with a passion. He's such a damn baby. This was the first climbing trip I've been able to schedule with my wife since she started in this lab, three years ago. She finally, last year, agreed that I could schedule a trip this fall.
Thinking about just taking the time off anyway, and driving to the Creek and hoping to hook up with partners. We'll see...
GO

A random WTF moment from earlier this week.
Baby Monkey got two new skills in gymnastics that she's been having trouble with, just in time for the comp in couple weeks. So, I pick her up from gymnastics on Wednesday, and she is all psyched and bubbly about FINALLY getting it, and she wants to have some frozen yogurt. So I say, sure, even though it is late, let's get some.
We go to the store (the biggest draw for kids is that it is self-serve), and a random woman (who is ALSO getting some ice cream) looks at A. and asks me, is she a gymnast? (well duh, she is wearing her leotard and gymnastics shorts). I say yes. And then this dumbass says, wow, I am surprised you let her have ice cream!
W....T....F....? Really?
I told her I was surprised that she thought it was o.k. to say something like that. And then told A. to hurry up and get her ice cream.
But I wish I had a better come-back.

Got to first base today; pieced together the upper crux for the first time today. we'll see I can seal the deal this fall.

I also get ice cream when I perform well at climbing. It's pretty rad.

At least I can proudly say that I've climbed more than see eye this summer.

Yeah, the presenters look really good, and last year the comp was fun as shit, despite being 5 degrees F.
I'm going to try to convince PG to do a clinic so she can get into all the presentations for free, but I won't really get much out of a clinic aside from ballcupping practice.

One gear shop in town who I have a great relationship with has them for rent, but only one brand, in the event that you want to try them out before the fest.
Also, the mixed lines in hyalite are going to be pretty busy during the days of the fest. At least one clinic has them strung up thursday and friday. The women's mixed clinic only has two spots left.

I don't want to toot my own horn, but I think the both the open and women's mixed clinics would be too basic for me. Plus, there's not fucking way I could take a clinic from Jen Olsen. I could consider taking the clinic from Gord, but I think Nathan may be a better technical mixed climber.
If you look at the schecdule you'll see that about an hour before every one else can get their hands on the demo gear the clinics have first dibs.
What brand of fruitboots do they sell at that store? The only one's I've tried have been Kaylands, but they weren't the Dragons. I think I'll see if I can borrow my friends old Mega Ices.....it would be sweet if I could try to buy them off him, but I think he still has climbing aspirations despite he and his wife and baby.

Yeah, I took the mixed clinic from Gord two years ago. It was interesting, and a good experience, but I didn't really learn anything besides what I got from Pont Rouge. The basic value of it is the free admissions to the shows.
Prolite has the Kaylands for rentals, but I don't know if they sell them, nor what model they are. They're closed on weekends, but I can try to get in touch with them sometime soon.
I honestly doubt anyone will be renting fruitboots for the clinics.

Nice werk!
Other than half-day of bouldering at Horsetooth Reservoir (which didn't feel particularly soft, but it may have had something to do with the fact that it was the 4th day of climbing in a row at the end of two-week trip, and in 95F temps) I still have not climbed anywhere in Colorado.
Need to remedy this sometime!
