I know a guy who is "off" in some way. He bothers the fuck out of me. Like Dexter/Doakes bothers me. I'm sure he's got ASPD of some flavor

...So yesterday was "New Roof Day" at @WhiteSpiderClimbing - always a fun time as it doesn't happen so often. So many fun routes and a great set, but 5(ish) laps of the roof didn't leave enough left in the tank to try the hard ones; next time, maybe! Thanks to Jon for the belay, company, and enthusiasm.

I've only been climbing for just over a month, but it's so satisfying to come away from a session having achieved things I couldn't manage a few weeks ago.
Tonight, it was completing several overhanging routes at V1 and V2, when a few weeks ago I could barely get established on those problems. I also had a go at a couple of V3 problems and made some progress, but they're still a bit beyond me for now.

Picked up the game Cairn. I'm really enjoying it. It's a beautiful climbing simulator with an emphasis on exploration and finding the path forward.
Not exactly cozy gameplay, but it's as close as you can get pressed against a cliffside when your out of pitons.

Uma aplicação para pessoas que fazem escalada e que emparelha escaladores que têm o pé esquerdo maior com escaladores calçam o mesmo número mas que têm o pé direito maior. Assim podem comprar pés de gato do seu número e de um número abaixo e trocar entre eles.
Overheard at the #climbinggym - "I heard Alex Honnold does that. He always stops to kiss the wall as he makes his way up."
