It was a weekend

dagibbsSomehow, I was tired. I'm not sure why.
Friday I had a dance lesson from 5pm-6pm, then I rode off to Montreal to have dinner with icedrake and katfeete. That was very pleasant, and they sent cheese home with me for House Flail. On the not so nice hand, I also got an email from a friend in Michigan saying her cancer had recurred. She's in her early 20s, and this is, already, her 2nd round. I got home again around 2am.
Saturday I headed out to Mont King with K8 for a relaxed bit of climbing -- 10am meet up, and planned to be back early, too. I onsighted the first (main) pitch of Original Route, which I've been looking at for a while, while K8 led a 2nd pitch that I suggested (rather than the original route). I noticed, though, a newly bolted route. It looks like someone (who?) has put new bolts up on Mont King despite (or, perhaps to spite) the NCC ban on climbing in most of the park and ban on new route development for everywhere in the park.
After climbing, I came home and napped, then got some food and caught up on 24 hours or so of missed internet.
Then Sunday, up and climbing at Altitude for 11am. Lead a bunch of climbs in the gym -- they've got more height than Coyote, and let you lead belay with an ATC (my preference) rather than requiring a Gri-gri. After that, home and shower and out to metawidget's birthday get together. A pleasant afternoon at Brasseur Du Temps, then back to their place to eat a delicious cake rottenfruit baked.
Now, an evening of home stuff -- some laundry, a bit of housecleaning, etc.
It was, very definitely, a weekend.
