Climbing the pain away
Jul. 21st, 2016 09:47 pmAfter a pretty terrible day, when a routine operation appears to have triggered some sort of interrupt in the high availability software, resulting in a cascading series of panics and crashes, we got everything mopped up in time to go climbing.
We warmed up on some easy stuff and then L cracked one of the 6a+ slab routes, A looked extremely accomplished on everything she tried; she declined to attempt an extremely fingery new 6b+, leaving it to me to on-sight it. I also sent a challenging — largely because I misread a move and felt rather pumped by the top — 6b+ which rewarded good footwork and would have rewarded good route-reading skills, had I had them!
Just what the doctor ordered after a day that was less than stellar.
