Yesterday was a rainy gym day. I met Aaron and Geoff at Pac Edge to run up a half dozen topropes routes. any resonable person will agree that a gym is the only place that should have named, rated and manufacturer credited toprope routes. The beauty of these is that they are removed and forgotten every few months.
Aaron was fresh back from doing the Prow with Levi and Geoff was back from a couple months off with no good excuse. The comparing of notes between them, as Geoff and Caleb had also done the Prow somewhat recently, made for enjoyable listening on my part. We continued the conversation at the new East Cliff Brewing Co. in their comfy lounge chairs, sampling rye ale, ESB and IPA.
I noted that Caleb's training consists mostly of the couch and alcohol portion of our day with little to none actual climbing and wondered how he performs at the level he does by mostly dreaming about it.
It was a great thing to be chilling with close friends, in the middle of a day, with no place we had to be. I am looking foreword to spending more time with the bunch of all you Mudsters.
