all sorts of good climbing news.--got an email yesterday from joe at new england bouldering; my iron palm is on the way. --when i got home from work today, i had a fancy new pair of five.ten zlippers waiting for me... i guess my letter from a few weeks ago did the trick. i was sorta hoping there would also be an apology letter... "please accept our deepest apologies for selling such a shoddy product; allow us to shower you with free gifts." etc. --campusing tonight was great. i was able to pull 1-4-7-10-13, starting with either hand. i think i might almost be ready for hound ears by next week.
