Well.. the climbing "competition":http://rockcomps.com/rockcomps/comps/event_details.cfm?id=513 at "the gym":http://theclimbingwall.com/ was yesterday, and I had a really good day. I paced myself well to get 10 good problems complete. Having thick callouses from my Bishop trip helped a lot, I think. It was a pretty crowded event, but no real ringers from out of town. I think I placed 4th, but that's just a guess. There was one last problem at the end of the day (that I should have tried sooner) that I kept getting closer and closer, but couldn't quite get. It was getting me so frustrated that I was pounding the wall and screaming with each failure. I _never_ care about problems that much, but this one was dancing just out of reach. I know I can do it, and when I go in on Tuesday and warm up, I know I'll walk it, but it would have been a nice capper on the day to get it. I'm feeling pretty strong these days, and with the new area of the gym open, I'm hoping that over the winter I'll be able to get some work in. Then, when I go back out to Bishop in the spring I'll be able to put my projects to bed without too much difficulty.
