Climbing, but no skiing

[dagibbs]

Had a good day for climbing today with S&B. My arm was, mostly, not bothering me, and I climbed a 5.10a (with several falls and attempts at one point), a 5.9 that I'd not seen before (completed with one fall), two new un-rated climbs, one of which I went up nicely (probably a 5.8, might be a 5.9, we'll see) and one that I didn't, but it required a heavy strength move, and I didn't try it until fairly late in the day. Also a variety of other routes in the 5.7-5.8 range. B was climbing far better than last time I climbed with her (6 months ago?), even though she had not climbed in the meantime. But she had been doing a lot of martial arts (5 times/week or so), including one sword-based one, and the improved arm strength and, especially, grip strength served her well for climbing.

Skiing for tomorrow is cancelled due to forecast of cold. (-25 in the morning, high of about -15. That's without counting windchill, and at the base of Mont Tremblant. At peak, will be colder, and the top half of the mountain is almost always windy, even if it isn't at the base -- and tomorrow was supposed to be windy, too.) So, now, I've got tomorrow completely empty of commitments or things to do.

I tried calling you last night a few times...I guess I was too early.

Looking forward to some cuddles. Is there a chance of penciling me in? Lol...

Yeah, we climbed until 6, then came back here and went out for chinese. It took use three tries to find a restaurant as they were all packed, with wait times of 30-45 minutes at the first two we tried. The third one was smaller, and still completely full, but a table was about to leave and there was no lineup. And, of course, dinner was slow because of the crowds, so I didn't get home until shortly before this post went up. I'm sorry I missed your calls, but was good to hear from you this morning. I've pencilled you in for dinner and evening. ;)
