Sometimes you just need a good ass kicking

Placing a cam? Slotting a nut? Slinging a tree?

I thought I'd come back into it climbing at least 5.9-ish. HA!

Take a year off and get fat. Your climbing will suck after that and you'll want to take up golf. Ok, maybe it's not that bad.
Yeah funny how that works. I knew it had been awhile when some 5.7 moves on a sport route had me stumped. But taking up golf?! Never. Golf is much harder and more expensive.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.

I was having a real high gravity day sunday which sucks even more that I had a lower gravity day saturday but I didn't make the best use of it.

Yea i seem to always just hop on harder stuff so that way I know at some point i will reach failure on the route and i accept it and have fun and go for the ride. Its amazing how much u learn doing it that way. I enjoy climbing easy stuff to though but i know that harder lcimbs offer more exciting moves which i enjoy. if i can do the move and not send i still think i have had a successful day.
Who Me? I gotta hitch hike god damn 18 miles to get a god damn beer......that's bullshit.

What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Good thing the other half of team Smoke Break was there with the cool catch.
It's too tight for hands and too big for fingers for my fat little hands. The girls get perfect handjams and made it look 5.6
