Wow. Great night climbing last night. Warmed up with a short .10a and a couple speed laps on a .6, then it was off to the races. Hopped up .10a, .10b, nearly ripped up a .10d on the first try, and made significant progress on a .10c project. (Next time for sure!) Rounded that out with attempts on two more .10ds, but by that time I was pumping out pretty quickly, and ready for dinner.

Putting climbing on the back burner the last few weeks has been a good thing. I'm more motivated, and I'm having more fun when I do climb. I just have to remember to work the hangboard enough to keep my grip strength up, and injuries away. I think I strained a pully in my left index finger last week. I taped it last night, and I can feel it today. Gotta watch out for that.

And it's high time I started leading. Timbo and I have decided to take the test on Tuesday, so I'll have news then. As always, it'll be mostly about keeping my head together.
