Wednesdays

I feel as if Wednesdays are the best days now I get to rest from the previous day of setting and my skin appreciates that. It also appreciates Climb On! bars. It's not spray if you love a product. I had never tried this till last year and won't go back to not using it. It helps my skin heal virtually overnight (cause I put it on my hand when I go to bed). If your skin tends to dry out when climbing and sting the next day climbing again, try some of this and see what happens you'll be amazed.

There are 31 new boulder problems on the North Boulder at Bridges as of 4:30pm yesterday. V0-V10. One word: QUALITY. We are finding our groove and flow. It's completely different than any other place. The Spot, The Front, east coast gyms...there is no standard for setting. Each gym has it's own consistency that makes it because as route setters, we are creating a product of the gym for people. There are somethings I like about other gyms setting and somethings I don't. That's just how it's going to be with everyone. You can't like everything about everything. You have to have somethings you like and dislike or you would have no taste. And call me an asshole or a dick, it's just the way I see things. I don't claim to know everything and never will about one subject. You can't. It's virtually impossible to attain that much knowledge in your lifetime.

Ah, ranting...one of many things I could do for hours. Moving on though...

I did something to my hamstring*. It's not pulled because I can walk still and I wasn't on the ground bawling my eyes out. Hopefully it is just a strain and if I stretch and drink water today while I rest, then I should be okay, right? In theory anyways.

*Hamstring is better to climb on. Just need to stretch before doing heel hooks. Or just stretch out after warming up now. Curse growing older...
