i used that excuse when my foot slid off a ramp on Too Many Puppies at the long crux move. i still don't know why the shoe split where it did. earlier on that same day i didn't send cause I somehow missed the three HUGE tickmarks and the HUGE clipping jug for the anchors. I fell one move away from the send, i was so bummed. :cry:

I don't know - having to poop is always a valid excuse in my book --- those early morning climbs...always seems I get to about the first or second bolt and have to come down...it's a distraction! On days where I am REALLY motivated and just want to get on a route first thing in the morning, I will even skip the usual coffee and oatmeal...hey it's something you have to plan for sometimes.

The drive from Evansville wiped me out.

I am 49 and I have only been climbing since 2001 less the time I have taken off because life interfered. :roll:

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

I think she greased up the crux holds and I fell off before I even got set up for a huge dyno finish.
