another weekend of climbing

To perhaps noone's surprise, I spent last weekend climbing.

Saturday was Lac Sam with Phil -- more route cleaning, some route climbing, and a dip in the lake to round out the day.

Sunday was a day up at Montagne d'Argent, currently my favourite almost-local place to climb, because it still has a lot of climbs in my range that I haven't already climbed. We had a gang of 6 of us out this time, and did a bunch of easy stuff in the Grand Canyon, as well as one hard one (5.10b) that I got clean on top-rope this time. The lead (mixed gear & bolts) looks like it could be quite difficult, though, as I think in the crux section the only gear placements may well be the only holds, too.

This morning, the stairs at work felt far steeper than normal.
