And the plastic rock gods said, today son! Yes I'm back climbing or Way Lake training as I am no preparing for Way Lake in two weeks. Way Lake sits in Mammoth, CA. About two hours away from Bishop. It is by no means a world class destination. But the rock is good, almost Rocky Mt. like (I don't know what Rocky is like cause I haven't been yet).
The training includes...V10, V8, V8 for projecting and 21 bouldering problems to be completed on my birthday (July 6th) in the cave during forerunning as part of the impromptu birthday bouldering challenge. 21 boulder problems from V0-V10. And then next day I sleep and rest, getting ready for some actual rock climbing away from the Bay Area. I have three days on. THREE. One two THREE fools. When I was in Hueco I went this many days on and did about 35 problems v0-v10 so about 70 problems in 6 days. Easy to hard. Most people there would go one day on and two days off. That method usually entailed the following excuses:
#1 "I had a bad burrito. It had this weird green yellow stuff mixed in it" (You're in El Paso. It's not bad they're GOOD burritos. And that green stuff? Those were Avocados.)
#2 "I'm weak"
#3 "I didn't wake up in time for the gates"
#4 "I've got this gapping hole and I like to whine"
It was amazing how much people could complain about minuscule things. Then again, don't we all complain (pain anyone?)
For now, I'm not complaining. I'm not in pain, and I feel really good. Hopefully the mental training of repeated failure and not getting mad has worked. Or maybe the Crank! Forearm fuel does it's job and keeps me feeling the pump longer so I can climb longer. I think it does. Buy some. It's good. Basically it's just a FUCK-LOAD of vitamin B in powder form. Mi it with a Gatorade and you got some good shit right there! PROBAR bars help as well for giving me some sort of food while Im climbing without weighing me down or feeling sluggish.
BUY THOSE PRODUCTS!
