R.I.P. my calluses
Projects
Anyone else got a cool project they’re working on?
Covid-19 Climber Bingo
Bingo.
Quarantraining
Doing all we can to stay active and not cry!
Distanced
Young, healthy, active people like climbers might not be at much risk from Covid19, but it’s not about us. I live with some high-risk people, so I’ve stopped going to the gym while the pandemic is in full swing. I really, really miss it, but I’d miss those people more. Be responsible. Don’t only take care of yourself; take care of others too.
Meditation
More often than not, this is how my mindfulness meditation sessions end up going.
Vocal
If I intimidate the slopers, they won’t spit me off, right?
Screening Process
Works every time.
Belay Neck
I’m unfairly maligning my partner here, as he’s the one who contributed belay specs to our gear bag.
Safety Checks
Final safety check: “Do I really want to do this?”
What Your Belay Device Says About You
No judgement. I love my GriGri.
Baby's First Flapper
We’ve all done it, right? RIGHT??
Sandbagged
It’s not me. It’s the grades.
Don't Look
Never look.
Climber Christmas Carols, part 2
Happy holidays! Shout-out to the setting crew at Planet Rock for giving me shiny new presents all year long.
Dead-to-Me Hangs
The Venn diagram of “me” and “climbing-specific training” is two completely separate circles.
Posture
There’s a downside to working in the coffee shop around the corner from my chiropractor’s office.
Sending Temps
Don’t talk to me about “sending temps”.
Planet Rock Has Given Me...
Have to renew my annual membership at Planet Rock this week. Worth every penny.
Vocabulary
What totally random piece of jargon would YOU add to the climbing lexicon?
