Pure Palm in smith's lower gorge. I had seen a shot in a patagonia catalogue of this route at some point and wanted to climb it and shoot it. We had fun rigging it and playing with my friend's DSLR.

Wow, gneiss reminiscenzes with all those photos. Have we become Stuportopo, just sitting around and tawking about how great we never were?
I laughed at the GObombz, definitely.
Some friends here in Fayettenam finally got it together and built a rad bouldering wall, had the first sesh on it. Hopefully this is step 1 in Operation MOONLIGHT for this April. Even if not it will be fun.
Also just found out that the main school that I've been subbing at just got condemned and they removed all students from it immediately, put them like refugees in a bunch of other schools. The root of this is because the county has been taking funding from the schools for years now, but Jesus fucking Christ. Less werk for me.

Rough morning and rough week.
This morning - had to give medicine to a sick cat (easier than giving medicine to a well cat, but still). My pipes have also frozen again and I haz no water. When I went to put the space heater down there it seems a breaker haz tripped, so no power to run it. I either need to find the breaker box or an extension cord.
This week - trying to get my ship together to go over to Europe for 2.5 weeks.
I also have a previously mentioned sick cat. Brought him to the vet yesterday because he had stopped eating and I guess he's constipated. Which is bad for cats because instead of passing they just keep holding it until their intestines can't deal with it anymore. Stupid fucking animals.
Finally, I'm running a women's ice climbing day on Sunday so I have a million emails every day that I'm trying to answer. I also have 4 bags of club gear that I picked up at the ice event last Sunday that I have been trying to dry out in my super little apartment.

What I do remember is that I forgot draws for the anchor, and had no extra cams, so I had to downclimb to clean one. I'm not the brightest bulb at the best of times, but that was not my smartest moment. GO
The way I heard it was that you pretended not to recognize the famous See Eye!

I saw Tracy's post, and was like, wtf, condemned school? That sucks!
I hope the cool hippie fayettenam people will actually boulder on that bouldering wall, and not just sit underneath it and smoke weed. I bet it is nice to have a place like this, with the weather being what it is. Do you make a trip to Charleston to climb, ever? I hear they have a comp this weekend.

Yeah, I've got high hopes for this gym. Pat built it, and donated all his holds, and the owner of the garage just wants it to become a donation-based community co-op, so it's not a 100% privately-owned by one person kind of thing. I make the trip to eNergy occasionally, but have never gotten the place dialed enough to really get a good full workout, because I don't go there too often. And honestly, their problems and especially angles are not *that* good.

Hmm, what do you consider good angle?
I've only been there for comps, but I thought that for the size, it has a great selection of angles. And they just finished a new 50 degree wall. And there is that treadwall machine... 5, 10, 15, 30, 50, wave, and roof, and mushroom? Seems like a good range of angles.
I mean, I wish OUR gym had this many...
I have not bouldered for so long, it is really sad... and the problems that they DO have at our gym are so unappealing that I almost don't miss it.
O.K., who am I kidding -- i do miss bouldering. And every single boulder problem being a dyno... I need that, even though I hate it.
Just started my hangboard cycle last night. I decided to change the timing this time around. Do 3 sets on each hold, instead of two that I have been doing before. And do 6-5-4 reps with increasing weights, instead of 7-6-5. So far, so good. We'll see.
I expect that I would be bouldering by the time I finish the hangboard stage and start the campusing/power stage. I really felt that skipping it last time (because I couldn't jump yet) was pretty bad for me, because power is my weakness, anyway, it doesn't help to hold on to tiny holds if I don't move off of them.
My PT is giving me a very roundabout answer on jumping/landing. First she was saying that I have to wait until I could leg-press body weight on the gimp leg. Well, now I can. And now she is saying, but in jumping you get 2-3 times bodyweight, in terms of forces... And, she says that we are ' working on it", with all the exercises that I am doing, even if it doesn't look that way... Ugh. Anyway, I accidentally jumped down from the bottom of the TR route that i was setting last weekend. Just kinda forgot that I shouldn't. And it was fine, though only from 3 feet off the ground, or so.
