Once again the rock was about as sticky as sandpaper glued to the left cheek of your face and the trees looked like they were about to burst into flames (read: fall foliage). Mike Patz and I took our usual laps at Waimea and cruised on down to Monsters today. With just a few more routes left to do there, Parallel Universe (5.14a) is next on the list and today went well. With the help of Mike's "magic-trick" beta, I had a solid one-hang attempt at the end of the day. Hopefully, this week it will succumb to my flailing.
Mike Foley sent Livin' Astro (5.14c) a few days ago, along with Max Zolotukhin sending Supernova(5.14b). Congrats! Those guys are killin' it.
Tomorrow I'll be running around Pawtuckaway with the MetroRock climbing team. That is if I actually rouse from Halloween's debaucherous (a word?) inflictions. I will. The boulders need some pulling after a long night all alone. That statement could go in either direction. You get to pick!
Anyway, with some luck Pawtuckaway will be as friendly as it was last week when I sent Domepiece (V10), a powerful, one-move problem to a sloping lip of a top-out. Some fatty (me?) broke the only foot on it, so it may be harder now...like "V-a million" probably.
Next update, Parallel will be sent. That route is so much fun to climb on that it should almost be made illegal, but not really. Right. Ok, good talk.
