I’ve got some mental cruxes to work through…
Decibels
SHOUTING MAKES YOU CLIMB BETTER.
Keeping Score
It’s always possible to take metric tracking too far.
Protection
I have used climbing analogies to help me make sense of everything from work projects to mental health.
Nightmares
I very rarely got climbing-related nightmares before the pandemic. Now I get them a lot.
Panic
I can panic about totally safe socially-distanced outdoor gatherings where everyone is wearing masks and staying 6+ feet away from each other. It’s a talent.
Climber Valentines
Send your partners (romantic and/or climbing) some love today.
Yoga Lag
This is my favorite part of Zoom yoga class.
Intervention
Still waiting for my folks to get their vaccine, and I gotta say…. I’ve kind of forgotten what it’s like to be a climber.
Responsibility
Friends don’t let friends deck.
Resolutions Revisted
Keeping my climbing resolutions simple this year.
Climber Christmas Carols, pt. 3
Super chossy. Very unstable. One star.
COVID Climber Gift Guide
Get something for the cautious climber in YOUR life!
Nemesis
It’s not going well, folks…
Winning at Yoga
Shout-out to my awesome mindful movements teacher, Mai, for slowly guiding all of us goal-oriented climbers away from the “RAAAAWRRR I MUST SEND THIS POSE” mindset towards a healthier and more sustainable practice that doesn’t involve screwing up our low backs.
Don't Got Your Spot
I will totally spot you… as long as you stay over six feet away from me at all times.
Masked
I know, it sucks so much but WEAR A MASK IN THE GYM. It may make it hard to breathe, but you know what else makes it hard to breathe? COVID.
Conclusions
Not looking forward to this.
Things That Scare Climbers
As Halloween approaches, I thought it might be fun to take a look at some of the scariest things in climbing.
Disappointment
RIP the purple on the back of the tower. RIP also my endurance.
