Crazy weekend here as usual. Managed to put away a route called Pudd's Pretty Dress (sandbagged 12 durp durp), was pretty psyched on that. Then tried my hand at slow pit bbq yesterday; put together a cinderblock pit, built a raging fire the night before for a whole bunch of cinders, then got up yesterday at 6am and started slow smoking a beef brisket and pork butt. They both turned out pretty well, and I did some chickens during the last two hours, too. Had a fair amount of people show up, was pretty psyched. Definitely need to do more smoking meat (huh huh, he said meat, huh huh). Now it is cold as all hell, no climbing for the next few days.

I am still bummed that there have been no barbeques co-inciding with my visits to the New.

Just don't tell anyone you're a history professor. Oh, and don't mention that you're a rock climber. And... hmmm... well, I think you're doomed. Maybe if you shoot yourself in the fase now, it'd be a quicker and happier way to end it all? GO

Hey Mo! About your post on Facebook making a little climbing wall - Nathan is the carpenter and is the one you need to talk to. I just use his skills to my advantage. Unfortunatly, you culled him from your facebook friends a while ago, and when you decided to try to add him again he decided not to accept your request. You might want to try adding him again, he might not remember the initial cull by now.

But... you ever climb with The Sender? He was my partner, and he failed, so... Yeah, probably not 5.10. GO Pfff! 1) having never been on the climb is the BEST position to argue 2) if someone called THE SENDER didn't send it, that settles the debate. It isn't 5.10. It is Gunks 5.9 3) Cracklover carez.

WEAK end report: The weather was perfect. I climbed like shit. This about sums it up. I am really bummed, because I felt so good mid-September, climbed my best ever. But now it looks like I had started the training cycle too early, peaked too early, and in any case, it probably didn't matter when I peaked, because I spent the most of my "peak" working, instead of climbing. if you think about it, Even if my "peak" lasts for 6 weeks, I only have 6 days of climbing in that peak, at most. SUCKS! I also managed to pull a muscle in my back doing series of long moves on this stellar 11d/12a that is, like, the best climb ever. So what was I thinking, getting on it? If everyone gives it 5 stars, OF COURSE it would be reachy! And it isn't like I cannot see it from the ground... And if Shaun climbs it and says, O.K. looks like here is the first reachy section, and it isn't even the crux, and i see that he is completely correct, why the hell did i even get on it? Because it is the best route at the crag, of course... And because I thought I could do it, anyway. And now I have a reason why it hurts to sit, stand, or lie on my back, or either side. Awesome.

Tweaking stuff in your back sucks. I know, I'm a pro at it. Don't know if it's your bag, but I'm a big fan of the crack ma'am to fix me up. I like the idea of training cycles, but everyone I've met who had done them complains how they missed their peak and they are dissapointed on how they're climbing. I thought that even after your peak you're supossed to still be in better shape than you were before you started the cycle, and doing repetative cycles would make you progressivly stronger in general. Otherwise, why would you bother?
