By some people’s standards, I did a warm-up today at the climbing gym. By my standards, though, considering how sick I was for two months straight and getting my strength back along with some endurance, I climbed hard today. I climbed until my body let me know that it was reaching exhaustion and I should stop before I injured something. I’m stiff and sore, I ache all over, and I was pumped for 45 minutes after I finished my bouldering session. I did laps on one problem that I really like – an arête problem – and ended up with seven ascents and seven descents of that particular problem. I got within one move of sending another problem – a 40º overhang – and was very proud of that today. I sent a few other problems, too, but that was the bulk of my climbing session today. I’m sweaty and stinky and I need t take a shower. So, off I go, and I hope your climbing session went or goes as well as mine did today!
Content Rating PG, for the most part
I try to keep the content of my posts in the PG range (meaning that maybe your 13-year-old should not read it... Just kidding!) - you know, something I could get away with tastefully in the town square without getting lynched, tarred-and-feathered, or hung (and something my mother would NOT wash my mouth out with soap for). As far as what age you have to be to understand some of the subtleties of my humor in writing and/or speaking, well... That may vary. A lot.
