Weekday Climbing

Post by **pigsteak** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:42 am

SO I see all these comments from folks who climb during the week. How do you do it? I have a 40 hour a week job, and can barely lift my head when I get home in the evenings. Just curious what folks do that allows them to climb during the week.

Are you: student, part time employed, professor, teacher, flex time at work, lie about being sick, work nights, work weekends, unemployed...etc.

My guess is those who work 40 hours and/or have kids rarely enjoy this pleasure. Please share your secret.

Maybe they deliberately chose jobs with flex time.

sure, but my gut tells me those jobs are the exception.....what category do you fit in Saxman?

Maybe they're taking advantage of the stimulus package.

I work full time in a portrait studio, and have to work pretty much every Saturday. The upside is I get to climb on Wednesdays, when there aren't any crowds. 8)

You work two jobs full time for four years (no climbing and barely sleeping) while developing a business. So you can own a business and have time to flex during the week...

I work 4 10's so I am able to climb on tues...except lately due to weather and injuries alike. It is a great schedule really.

40 hour week, I'm on my co-op right now, UofL Engineering the rest of the year, with no real summer break. It's kind of a bummer but this summer I'm set up for just one class early on friday so It'll let me get out, climb some friday before camping, so that will be some nice extra time.
