Friday glee has its resolve sapped by a wall

Climbing? Training? Boosted? Boosted again? Beyond even trying to process what's happening in the world?

What's been bringing you glee of late?

Video: Dawes of Perspiration ep.1 - Getting back in shape and Lattice Finger Strength Testing. The Dawes is back in town! Content note for discussion of weight and weight loss.

I ran into The Dawes at the wall the other day and when he's climbing it's impossible not to watch; he just moves completely differently from everyone else.

I love the "well, I'm a bit out of shape, but I climbed some V5s and that wasn't bad" attitude. If only...

That is SO cool that you saw him.

I'm in awe of good climbers. I will never be particularly spectacular at it, but I love it. I think that the fact that I didn't start climbing until 50 and that I'm still climbing at 69 is doing pretty damn well. I can even do a 5.9 on a good day. (grin)
