Time off

Post by kek-san »

Involuntary time off, love it or hate it? Suggestions to stay motivated and in shape when climbing is totally unavailable.

By totally unavailable, family health emergency and business travel overseas, not weather. Weather is no excuse.

love it otherwise you'll really hate it.

its a chance to find something else out about yourself, the world, the person next to you, etc.



really, at least it's better than this

Some of 'us' are over exercising. The strong come back after time off sometimes makes this manifest.

sadly, I agree with anti....embrace the time away from climbing. do something that you would never of imagined when climbing was consuming all your free time.

Climb hard now. We are all getting older.

Arthur: What generation are you?
Kipp: NEXUS-6.
Arthur: (enthusiastically and proudly) Ah, I knew it. 'Cause I do genetic design work for the Tyrell Corporation. There's some of me in you. Ha. (A cuckoo clock faintly and subtly 'cuckoo's' in the background) Show me something.
Kipp: Like what?
Arthur: Like anything.
Kipp: We're not computers, Arthur. We're physical.
Kris: I think, Arthur, therefore I am.
To demonstrate his superhuman ability, Kris does a backward cartwheel and plunges his hand into a boiling water container to get a hard-boiled egg - he then tosses it at Arthur. Kipp claims that the replicants share a similar problem with Arthur, who suffers from a genetic deficiency - Methuselah syndrome:

Kipp: We've got a lot in common.
Arthur: What do you mean?
Kipp: Similar problems.
Kris (clarifying): Accelerated decrepitude.

Cross train for strength and cardio. The only climbing I do is in the gorge these days and I spend a lot of time just working out. I seem to be keeping up, at least not going backwards... though I can't get close to those NEXUS-6 models.
Pick myself up, stop lookin' back.
