“Honestly, it’s these kinds of climbs that make me appreciate climbing even more. Every challenge, every setback – it all adds to the journey, and the lessons learned along the way are invaluable. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to experience moments like this. There’s so much room for growth in climbing and with every struggle comes the chance to surprise yourself, if you are willing to keep showing up”

Deload vs Taper
they serve different purposes and are applied at different times.
Deloading
- Purpose: To allow the body to recover from accumulated fatigue and prevent overtraining.
- When: Typically after a period of intense training.
- How: By reducing the intensity, frequency, or volume of workouts. This might mean lifting lighter weights, doing fewer sets or reps, or taking more rest days12.
Tapering
- Purpose: To peak performance for a specific event or competition.
- When: In the weeks leading up to a competition.
- How: By strategically reducing training volume while maintaining or slightly reducing intensity. This helps to reduce fatigue while keeping the muscles primed for peak performance13.
In summary, deloading is more about recovery and preparing for the next phase of training, while tapering is about optimizing performance for a specific event.

I made it back to Morgan’s Run NEA and found progress on Aloha V10 decided on method to commit to crux, worked out foot placements, got on moves of low start as well. Most importantly the session was shared with two (2) new friends that are stoked, strong, and all around good vibes. Thanks to Andrew and Sebastian for the inspiration and encouragement.
Porteños Go Home still felt sketch but I got high point on that as well (past match on slopey rail).
After session there I went solo to Northwest Branch to squeeze in some attempts on projects…thankful I did because I finnaly sent DERa V8! That rig has been a nemesis of mine for quite some time. I’ve tried it sporadically for many years, but only once or twice as a dedicated project. I must confess it feels easier now than I thought it would… there were a lot of times I recall doubting if I could ever do it , ultimately I just had to commit to heel method, forget about establishing R foot on at all for start and hit intermediate with first L hand move ; first time I did this it went down. Whatever. It’s done.

nadi shodhana pranayama
alternate-nostril breathing method, has a profound and immediate effect on the body, says Kavita Chandwani, M.D., M.PH. She describes the technique: Hold your right nostril closed with your thumb; breathe in through your left nostril. Without letting out your breath, cover your left nostril. Exhale through the right nostril, then inhale through that nostril with the left nostril covered, close your right nostril, and exhale through the left. Do this for 1 minute. The longer the breaths, the better. Shutting off one of the air passageways causes you to take longer, deeper breaths (it essentially forces you to belly-breathe), which calms nerves, slows heart rate, and reduces blood pressure.
