the diary of a [newbie] rock climber

i've recently discovered the intoxication that is rock climbing. what follows is a collection of random thoughts, experiences and images related to my newbie rock climbing adventures. note: climbing is a dangerous activity. these are only my opinions and shouldn't be substituted for good sense and education. climb safely and at your own risk.

yea, i really like climbing

with the snow season upon me, i haven't been climbing a whole lot. the last two months have been relatively horizontal. i've also been working crazy hours.

this last week, however, i've managed to find the climbing gym a few times. the routes have been moderate, the body movements predictable.

these visits have reminded me why i like to do this thing.

taking a break isn't always so bad.

7am routine

my work schedule gets crazy. ten to twelve hour days are a bit too common.

i often wondered if i'd ever be able to get into any kind of climbing routine. while not easy, i'm trying to make it to the gym on tuesday and thursday mornings from 7-9am.

two days so far this week.

i'm sooo sleepy today though.

ahhh the choices we make for our cheap vertical thrills.
