The Day After Thanksgiving
Took Penny climbing today. She had a good day, and it was a much more positive experience than I thought it would be. So all is good there.As for me, I re-conquered two 5.10's from last week and started working on two more for the future.

Not having climbed in two months due to my bum elbow really depleted my energy and endurance. But I was still psyched to get out and go
Saturday
Heading to the gym to climb for the first time on Saturday. Katie confirmed that her sister, and possibly another gentleman, would be along for the class. I can't wait to get back into the gym and try out my moves after a few months of rest. And if I can land a new job that has better winter hours, I will be climbing a lot more often this winter. Care to join me?
