My mental game needs some work.
AAAAHHHHHH
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO AAAAHHHHHHHHH—
Lingering
Definitely have to clean these out before I get back on the wall.
Economic Route Setting
There are several reasons why I have not yet embarked on constructing my epic home wall. This is one of them.
Premature
I had a whole different comic ready to go before my climbing partner broke the news to me.
Still A Climber
Pretty sure I dreamed about climbing last night.
Garage Dreams
BRB, gonna go design my totally impractical dream garage wall.
Zoomboarding
I’ve been doing weekly Rock Rings sessions with my climbing partner on one of the days we would usually go climbing together. It’s been great to keep that schedule and get a chance to virtually hang out… but my god, I really don’t like hangboarding.
Safer
This is the only logical conclusion.
Super Sketched
Haven’t climbed for 130 days. BUT WHO’S COUNTING?????
Hazardous
Still not climbing. Probably for the best.
Prepared
Still haven’t been back to the gym, but I’m getting ready!

Through our partnerships with Therapy for Black Girls, National Queer & Trans Therapists of Color Network, Talkspace and Open Path Collective, Loveland Therapy Fund recipients will have access to a comprehensive list of mental health professionals across the country providing high quality, culturally competent services to Black women and girls.
Still desperately trying to find loopholes that will allow me to feel comfortable going back to the gym.
Zoom Yoga
Resource of the Day: National Bail Fund
The National Bail Fund Network is made up of over sixty community bail and bond funds across the country. We regularly update this listing of community bail funds that are freeing people by paying bail/bond and are also fighting to abolish the money bail system and pretrial detention.
Find and donate to your local bail fund, or donate to the Emergency Response Fund.
Online yoga classes taught by my climbing gym’s instructor have been a big part of what’s kept me going during quarantine. They’ve also nearly killed me on multiple occasions.
New Safety Checks
I don’t know when I’ll feel OK about going back to the gym.
High Gravity Days
Stupid gravity.
Days Since I Last Climbed
It’s fine. I’m fine.
Don't Bite The Rope
I’ve got a couple bad habits I need to break before the gyms reopen…
Lock-offs
BRB, adding disinfectant to my rack.
Grip Gripes
Stemming? Bring it on! Drop knees? Yes please! Heel hooks? Every day, all day. Crimps? Um…
