Up a Mountain / Down a Beer

Back in the swing of things

Today I did it. I finally got back out there and got some bouldering in. It has been a few years and today was rough, I was blowing off of problems I would send with no problem a few years back.

I guess one of the main issues was that I was lazy, however in all reality the past few years have been time consuming. I have had my shoulder rebuilt (it is time for the other one!), having a son and settling into civilian life, as well as finding like minded folks. Now after just an hour or so on the rock I feel incredible!

Brownie and I met up at Garden of the Gods and worked on some problems. Although my climbing was not quite as impressive as I would have liked I did feel a good energy about just being there. Hopefully I can get out there more as summer approaches and get my climbing strength back.

In all actuality I am putting off the inevitable of having to have at least one more surgery on my shoulders but I cannot seem to find the time. I am on the bike, or in the back country or climbing all summer, and I ski or snowshoe all winter. Such is life. Well thats all, I just wanted to share the good vibes I was feeling.

Cheers and Beers,

Yeti

To Yeti’s credit. He did help (watched) me move 2 tons of retaining wall blocks 1 hr prior to bouldering.

Wait just a minute I distinctly remember lifting and loading my fair share. You lying commie.
