what time zone is Bloomington with, currently?

...i might come, depends on how the knee feels and if i can bear to wake up early to make the 4 hour drive. total points, huh? it's been a while since i've done one of those.

is the reg fee the standard $25?

neuroshock, you better stay off that knee! It's EST, btw

Nothing kicks your ass more than a total points comp. Four hours of as much climbing as your body can handle. It's totally worth the drive.

i love total points comps...it's a shame that more aren't held. i can think of only 2 others i've been to. 1 in Crystal Lake, IL in April '05 and 1 at Climb Time Indy back during ABS2 (or ABS3?).

at Indy, I remember getting 86 of the 102 problems in 5 hours. sooo much fun!

Meadows, last thursday the physical therapist gave me the 'ok' to climb easy stuff if i'm feeling up to it this week

obviously, i pushed things by climbing in the gym on saturday...but it was TR--no potential for bad landings

though, i did repeat a bouldery 11c that i set a while ago

can ya tell that i'm getting antsy/going through withdrawl? all my tips have peeled off already

i don't think i'd make it, anyway. being there by 12 means leaving chicago around/before 7am. ugh. (not a morning person) if i can find someone to split the drive and gas, then maybe.

Sounds sweet! I'm hoping to make it. I can't wait to send the crux of Gecko Circus!! Thanks for the promise to re-create that, Josh!

We should all go out after the slide show. I hear Yas has become quite the lush so maybe we could get her a half yard at the Irish Lion.

For anyone who hasn't been to the gym since the bouldering room addition, this is a excellent opportunity to check it out. It is amazing.
