Mmmmmm....Coffee

Alright.  Recently I've been on the project grind.  That means not sleeping well, constantly doing a minimal amount of anything physical, and neglecting other aspects of daily life.  My skin has been trashed for two weeks now.  The joints in my fingers ache from a lack of rest and my body feels like it's been beaten slowly by small hammers.

Biggie Shorty has been something like a water hazard haunting me in the back nine of Montlakes' golf course.  Only this one, you start in the hazard and have to climb your way out.  I've always wanted to do this climb, ever since I moved here 6 years ago.  Only recently now though, I have gotten stronger and able to climb at this level.  With that confidence, I thought I should commit to get it done.   This climb kinda represents my anti style too.  Short. Crimpy. I've been able to knock down the hard power-endurance classics more quickly than those of this nature.  After getting sick and having a bad session, I totally wrote this thing off and started concentrating on other climbs, only to return in a different form, solo, where I was carrying two pads, a camera, and motivation to do work until this thing was done. So, it was very satisfying to prove to myself that I could do this thing.  

Here's a video!


With that being done I was amped to go climbing with out the pressure and anxiety of performance and execution.  My homie Preston A.  came up from Atlanta to climb with Kit and I at LRC yesterday.  It was a dirty type work day too.  The day went like this.  Pocket Pool, Scarecrow, The Chattanoogan, The Law, and Dragon Slayer.  Whoa.  I am absolutely destroyed.  Looking at my camera roll I can tell I got more drawn into the session as the day went on because I don't have any pictures from anything after scarecrow.  Damn!  Although, I did get some killer footage of P. on The Chattanoogan.  Psyched for him.  He'll send soon.  

So here they are:








So, I guess I'm psyched on The Law now after making some moves on it and quite frankly, sport climbing and maybe some sessions on the Dayton roof.  Head change.  

Cheddar.
