Also a mess between my place in Owen Sound and my house in St. Catharines. Forgot to bring a whole pile of stuff home with my this weekend, including all my crampons (4 pairs if you believe that). Flip side is that I forgot my tea and my jiant down jacket in St. Catharines. Not 100% sure if I have any mittens or gloves up here either. Fuck.

Checking the weather at 7am it was -23C (almost -10F). It's great that there's ice, but I don't want to go climb it. Gross. There's no justifiable reason to be that cold. I'm sitting outside on my patio with no shoes, t shirt and glass of wine. Love it! Gross is also the word I choose to use to describe this weather. Supposed to be cold all this week and warm up a tiny bit this weekend. Going from gross to unpleasant....whooo! I don't know. It warmed up here today a bit, a high of 10F, woo! And it was sunny. So 5F this morning, walking to work, felt really really warm, compared to -2 and cloudy and windy yesterday... I actually took my hood off partway through the walk, because I was feeling toasty. It's not for very long though, back to snow and colder cold tomorrow.

Not that there's any good time, but... seems like CO and UT are just perfect rock weather, have been most of the winter. Grr. Oh, did I mention our pipes froze over the weekend? Ya, that was fun. Only plus in all this is that our landlord gave us a break in the rent this month because of all the crap we've been dealing with. GO

I think the only good climbing in the us might be Smith right now. it was perfect temps at teh hole this weke end. the porblems kamhed created on the Breaking Bad got fixied. saturday I wasn't all that fired up to get on the Drive-by (the usual proj), so I took a couple attempts at the gangbanger (a couple grades harder). all the moves went, but only bolt to bolt. nasty crimpy crux right at the top. It made the holds on the breaking bad (and the drive-by on monday) feel bigger, though.

Ah. I know jak had one of the lower crux. Oh well. Geerz tawk: I've been sharpening my picks and pons... Hahaha!!! That is not true. I have been climbing with my friends ange draws for about s year now, and they are amazing!! I think they weigh half as much as my spirit draws and you don't feel them when climbing and hanging draws. So I looked at getting some, but they are $27 a draw!! Holy crap.

I have never failed on a climb due to the draws being too heavy. Though I will file that back in the future excuses department to use when I've exhausted diet, conditions, and ibuprofen use as reasons for failurez. Skinny draws suck. Ewe just can't grab them easily enough.
