have another "mini" reunion to report: breakfast with BBob, wherein I recapped three days of rx climbing in Eldorado Canyon and a route on the First Flatiron.
Was supposed to work on rock and ice and then do a big route but weather would not cooperate for climbing in Rocky Mountain National Park. Just as well, in terms of doing a big route, since my conditioning has not been stellar as of late, and climbing at lower (and warmer) altitudes than planned made things less "Calvinistic."
Even with some fierce winds, the climbs were very positive. They were challenging enough to leave me completely stumped on several moves, but not so hard that I'm not stoked to do some more. Unfortunately, that will have to wait for spring.
Not enjoying in the least coming back to the holiday hullabaloo.
