4 Weeks of Fall

It's still a bit hot. I've been circuiting the draw once a week, sometimes doing some new things, but most of the times running laps. The current routine is to warm up on whatever strikes the fancy, and then do the two mandatory things:
  1. Do the mandatory rodeo jump move on Carnivore Direct. The way I exit afterwards is arbitrary.
  2. Climb The Receptionist/The Girl.
Mostly, I've been topping out The Receptionist, since the climb forces a more physical style, but I may end up switching over to The Girl. I've finally did R God is Neither, but the video quality is quite poor. I've been trying Lolita and BK Broiler, but I don't have too high expectations for either. I'm more psyched to work on things that aren't roofs, but with school in the midst, I think it's important to get to things that are logistically easy. 

In other news, I helped establish a roof boulder! Bobby found a nice one a few weeks ago out near Snakebait, and we (the roof hunter Bobby, the strongman Josh, the legend Matt Hoch, the designer of most of the beta at the draw, and I, your resident punter-in-chief) went out to put some work on it. Within a few hours we cleaned the holds, built the landing, established the various methods, made it go, and now it is dubbed The Pod Racer. It is fun being able to apply the skills we learned climbing on established roofs on new territory. Fall is now settling in, but for some reason, temperatures are still high, and skin is thin. We might go to the Burrow next week. I hope my body and brain is ready. 

Anyways, here's the picture and video dump:

Priest Draw/EoY Update

I'm still been working on Lolita  at Priest Draw. I've now progressed to the point where the boulder can be segmented into 3 parts, ...
