It’s Not Worth It
It always seems its worth risking it though! Until the risk doesn’t pay off. Could be scary trad routes or crossing a busy road in a rush. Or in my case recently, having a finger injury and assuming it would just go away, and then pulling far too hard on a tiny crimp, and then ensuring the outcome by simultaneously having both feet skid off. Unfortunately my only real strength: tenacity, was against me! And so I hung on when anybody else would have been off. At least I did the route.
So that explains my lack of posting recently. But its getting better now, a bit annoying having also had a bad finger most of last year (different one), but at least I got good at 3 finger climbing! I was in good shape (for me) and ready for some hard projects but the weather has been all over, too wet, too hot, too humid, too cold. Actually I didn’t miss much. Lots of route setting has been good to slow down the cake intake; I even managed a font 8a the other day, at the Tor of all places, one I’ve not done before too, which is pretty rare! So things should be all good for the next week when I’ll be out in China. Packing now, in goes the flapjack, noodles are nice for sure, but maybe not 3 times per day every day!
