Quit being a puss Pigsteak. From Joe Kinder's blog:

"Jacinda Hunter of Spanish Fork, Utah has made the FFA of Breakin The Law 5.14b at the Black and Tan wall. Very impressive to see her top that rig out after some good effort and consistency with her project. LOTS or respect for such a strong, sweet and tenacious woman with four kids, a full-time job, and a 5 hour trip to her project. PROPS!!!!"[/b]

I work an every third day 24 hour shift with 2 days off following, makes it easy.

"The character reaches the top, picks up a guitar, and plays a single riff."

Just lucky to pick up a skill set that let me have some free time during the week with the tech stuff, now hopefully the photography will work out the same or better. Would love to climb mon-tues, rest wed, climb thurs-fri, and take the weekends off. Maybe not this spring, but hopefully by fall...

Living at the red over the winter sorta sucked - we climbed very little, spent less time out and about, and a whole lot of time reading and watching movies (no internet or cable). Now that the days are longer and the weather better, we can get out and climb then ride bikes, etc. Once summer sets in, maybe climb a few pitches in the AM, ride/hike/sleep during the day, then back out once it cools off a bit. The plan is to be able to spend at least a few weeks somewhere warmer next winter.

Of course, she works one week on, one week off... that helps.

flex time is great. i have to put in 80 hours over a two week period so typically i work 4 9 hour days and the leave early they other day. it helps that i start work at 7:00 am, so i can leave by noon. I also get four weeks of vacation but i generally don't use them for day trips. also, i get my vacation by the hour which makes the flex time even more useful. oh yeah, not owning a house helps alot, when something breaks we just call Neil to come fix it.
