5.9 > Underdog (clean, but had trouble finishing ?!?!?)
5.10- > Big Man on Campus (fell & quit 50% up, gassed)
5.8 > Walking on Marshmallows (clean but crimpy and surprising technical)

Woke up this morning to run/hike, but was totally tapped, an went back to sleep.

Moving LJ again last night till 2300, puts me in bed at 2330.
3hours of sleep is not enough to function...

I slept in, passed out actually, then forgot to set and alarm and was late for work...

This is not a good pattern to be forming so close to blast off for washington.

HIKE (evening)

DID LJs trail...

single lap, lots of speed - pushing lung capacity

Rain and wind came down on us just starting the descent (pretty hard)
Made the trail muddy and rock slick

I almost stepped on a baby rattlesnake (scared the crap out of him, poor little fella)

Good workout, felt the leg presses and limited squats from friday

These are routes in the climbing gym... All they are, are holds and pieces of colored tape on a wall -

It is part of my training though, so I do log them

Here, it would look like this

10AU071730 FRI

HIKE

Unamed Trail...
Heavy pack
(I dont know the true elevation or mileage to this trail)

19min up (fast)

Hiked w/John who didn't bring a pack so it went fast...
It was very hot though!!!

 

[The Monkey Man]

11AU071730? SAT

Humphries Peak

Heavy Pack...

Hiked from the trailhead @ 8900ft
to 11,400ft.. Had to stop as it was dark

Set up Bivy, in the dark
Right on the trail, rocks, nice...

Didn't sleep worth a crap
as a porcupine woke me up at 0030...
Then falling rocks and wind woke me up at 0240...
Then a dog woke me up at 0345...
And finally another dog and the owners tromped through at 0415...
I tried to shut my eyes for 15min but it didnt work...


12AU070430 SUN
Got up at 0430, made a meal, broke down camp, and hiked
out the stiffest part of the trail at 0530

Climbed 11,400 to 12,410 and back down to 8900

Climbing to the summit sucked as I wasnt warmed up
and there were 60mph wind gusts and it was freezing
I screwed something up in my right ear, as it is ringing now...
(I hope I dont get an infection )

Oh, and I broke a boot lace so I had to descend w/a sloppy fitting left boot
and I have a nice blister to show for it
(wont need that on thursday either)


This is the difference between training and the real world -

Yeah, you wouldnt be able to see what wrong foot or move or whatever I noted from looking at the route...

Heck, sometimes I cant even repeat the moves right or wrong -

Lots of good routes...
Didn't bring my journal, dont care today...

[Jodi]

Sweet! Good Job! Can't wait to see the pics.

 

[The Monkey Man]

Thank you Jodes...

I am planning a a BBQ when the weather gets cooler (good food!) or I finish my kitchen
whichever comes first... (probably the weather )



I want all of you to come and will B extremely insulted if you losers find other things to do -


We all need to connect again, its been 2 long since Vegas '06...

Also, if you guys want to train on South Mountain, I can use the exercise!!!



IE... (drunken) "Miss you babe"
(U2 Pskunk&Pvonne)

If Patrick wasn't such a fag he would try climbing at the rock gym!?!?
(although, be asured, Pvonne would probably kick his @$$ there too)
