fail

I tried 5.11b/c and I failed numerously. That's discouraging. But I should've start with no overhang route, of course.
Campusing on the other hand is progressing a bit. At least i can do more than just hang on :) Even if that costs me some skin.

i must note

that climbing while recovering from the carbon monoxide poisoning is not as fun as it can be:)

yesterday was exhausting

I am in pain in many places (strangely legs too). But my confidence in 5.11 appears to be growing, even though I don't seem to progress much. I will only warm up/cool down on 5.10s from now on.

I am also back to a 100 pushups. What should be my next focus? Crunches, squats or pull-ups? Can't decide.

Cobra Crack (5.14)

Found it on the Youtube yesterday while watching Patagonia videos. The climb looks great. I wonder how many years will pass before I start climbing 5.14 if ever :)

v4

So, I was fighting with one V4 recently and then just realized that I can do it without any major effort. It is interesting to see how things that seem undoable under normal circumstances then suddenly become doable. Why is it discrete? I don't know.

scam

So, I just got an email from Five Ten saying that they have everything 15% off. First thing I went to checked were their Dæscent shoes. Which were $90 before (just a couple of months ago when my wife bought the pair, this price is still everywhere online), and are $105 now, so -15% puts us back to ~$90. This is not how you behave if you respect your customers.

And I will not say anything here about what they did to the sizes, that's something people should experience and be frustrated about without my help.

Tahoe was nice

We tried to assault the Lover's Leap and I stayed second all the time by choice. Our communication sucked until the very end, and clusterfucks were abundant.
