SENDAGE [plural!!!]
On Monday, November 23rd, I had my best bouldering day EVER! I found success on my first V10 ULTIMATE DOOM and fourth ever V9 PIPEDREAMS. Felt unreal both of these projects going down in the same session.
Big Gratitude.
Celebrate responsibly this holiday season folks.

DO NOT BOAST OF TOMORROWS
Blend of progress plateaus setbacks and paradigm shifts. I am making some links:
Pipedreams V9 (a mountain of two moves)
nature of line reminds me of Crimps ...working on start holds
—
Thor’s Prodigy (stoutest V7 ever)
I need more core strength... last move to slot still elusive
—
Slingsby’s Arete (2nd stoutest V7 lol) Figuring micro beta that best fits for my body
—
Ultimate Doom V10
conditions + clear devotion + beta for full linkage be well.

Progress with goal !!!
So, yesterday Crimps 7C/V9 went down despite a hole in my finger. Mind was right. I was able to manage ascent "twice" (first time I dabbed on pad... so I removed pad lol). Great conditions. I give thanks.

COVID 19 & “FLOYD 20”
I am alive, inspite of the world going to hell and “our” beloved climbing fraternity/sorority . I am appalled by much from the so called “outdoor enthusiasts” sector. “Climbing Karens” and “Q anon experienced climbers” what else can this “Shameful tool of the moronic Left” say lol. Sigh. Perhaps it’s better I just witness my knee jerk reactions and responses in my self, listen, and learn.
Oh yeah, and gratefully go climb :)
As rock climbers there is inherent risk and challenge-seeking we are privileged to be able to SAVOR that all but a small percentage of non-white America does not have means to afford. If you are challenged with SURVIVAL and proving your right to exist, the proposition of rock climbing seems silly. Just a reminder that the glitzy gyms and e zines we read are very glazed grazed and protected by smiling fangs. Still very much a White Man and Woman's fraternity and sorority. 1% of climbers is Black. I don’t need to be shown a seat or a table or be given a platform to “take over.”
That is all.

P.S.
here’s less heavy-to-digest fare; the world is a gym ...

THREE LIFE(R)STYLE CHANGES TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
Replenish
Don’t obsess over the minutia with HYDRATION. Whether two liters, a gallon a day, or more, figure out how to make hydration a habit, and just drink the water.
Two tips:
- Attach drinking water to a morning routine.
- Commit to a water bottle and never leave it empty.
Rejuvinate
SLEEP/REST is inescapable. Design separate spaces (hardline, no cheating)... once in bed no online/screen time.
Don't rush rest (simple concept, elusive in practice)
Reform
“It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.” – Coach John Wooden
CONTINUOUS LEARNING, mastering the fundamentals, and ensuring little things be on point are the keys to success
pair an appetite for curiosity with an appetite for continuous challenge

"Success is just a bonus of a great battle.
If you take every day like that, you are going
just for the fight and not the success.
Paradoxically, it works very well.
