Climbing this Monday was fun...I had been feeling a bit disconnected and still was on Monday but I went anyway in hopes of just following through. I got there a bit late and my friends were already climbing but had just started. Pal walked me through setting up the anchor and how to setup the auto-block which we would use for the rappel.

Inventory

- One cord w/
- ATC w/ biner

The big sling is then girth hitched through the top and bottom loops of your harness

The biner from the big sling is then clipped through the lower off and locked

Good night climbing on Wednesday... I was really feeling disconnected from climbing since I hadn't been for a week or so...I ended up getting there early and got a few belay's from a friend I met at yoga.

Lead Climbs

5.7+

Real easy climb, nice warm-up

5.8

While the climb was easy I thought the third clip was a bit tough for an 5.8. I chose to climb above the clip and then make it and it was a committing move.

The weekend has been really great so far. Lots of stuff going on as usual :). Last night I met with my friends the three G's. We had a really fun time on the Island of Plumb eating and talking. I noticed that I was really tired like the kind of tired that just cuts through your bones. I've really been dedicated to yoga. Go and see for yourself my calendar lists all of the classes that I have taken over the past months. I'm not boasting I'm just proud. I'm proud of myself because it isn't easy. In fact it is really hard. I have been putting it first in my life and I'm really not even sure why.

My mind is pretty empty. I really haven't had any time to myself lately and it is taking its toll. I really don't know what it is about just having a day spent hanging around the house, cleaning up, and going through old crap but it is definitely medicinal.

I got a haircut the other day and no one noticed. Not one person in my life commented on my hair. I think it is pretty funny since appearance is as much of a conversational piece as the weather. It is just there an pretty obvious. In everyone's defense I suppose the haircut wasn't that noticeable since I got it cut back to shoulder length, which to me was pretty significant, but not so much to others...

I'm not sad that no one noticed but maybe I was hoping for a few silly comments from people like:

"Wha did you get your ears lowered?"
