Being sick sux ass

Did a superlap tonight. A superlap, for those of you newbs out there, is when you lead up and over the lead wall to the tall wall, down climb a route on that wall, climb back up and then back down the lead wall. In the past, the farthest that I had made it was up the lead wall, down the tall wall, and back up. Tonight I pushed myself and finished down-climbing the lead wall again. It's damn hard to unclip the carabeaners as you downclimb with hands that don't obey. My arms were so pumped at the end my GOD!

I think I'll try and do it once a week -- I had to take one break on the way down as I just couldn't unclip. But Jason made me keep goin' (thanks!). Now for some fud and then on my bike for an hour or so.

I'll sleep good tonight!

So...
Jason and I have mentioned our "Double Secret Project" once or twice in the past couple weeks. It's finally close enough to being complete that I got permission tonight to tell everyone about it.

Vertex is the climbing gym where we both climb. After talking to the owner and convincing him that he should have a new "style" of website (that site hasn't been updated for two years now), we are about 95% done with the site. We are doing it as a "blog" so that it's easy for them to update in the future. And Jason and I will be maintaining the "news" section of the website -- posting new climbs, updated staff information, etc.

So .. you want to see what we have come up with so far?
Well check it out already!

We are deffinately looking for feedback as we are going to be "going live" in approx. two weeks from tomorrow. So lemme know what ya think! There are minor code tweaks that we are going to do but like I said it's about 95% complete -- well maybe closer to 98%...

w00p!

Finally got up a 5.11b/c tonight. That is officially the hardest top-rope climb that I have completed.
I did it with one fall so it's not officially "sent" yet but hopefully tomorrow -- now that I have all the moves worked out. The climb is probably 5.10d until the last three moves which are prob. 5.11d -- they are VERY hard.

I plan on starting to lead more as well -- they have a 5.10a which is the hardest that I have lead -- and a 5.10c and then a 5.11a. The 5.11a looks really hard so I'll do the 5.10c first. But hopefully those will start goign pretty well .. as well.

yay!!
