Re: The Shed 'O Pain
 

Back from the New. We actually had a decent weekend. Friday I got one TR in at the Bridge (Angel's Arete) before it started to rain. Saturday, I decided to walk around Endless. It was pretty dreary so I headed to the Cirque. Met a nice couple who decided to take pity on me and let me climb with them. Paul and Kristina were their names. They are from Columbus and said they knew Lena quite well. We did two warm up routes (11a and 11b) and then worked on Hourglass(12b). I sent it second go. Way cool route with the crux guarding the anchors. It felt pretty soft. Not nearly as hard as Jesus and Tequila. The weather turned out to hot and sunny. I actually have a sunburn on my face and neck.
Sunday I hooked up with a nice guy (Chris) I had met the day before at the Cirque. We warmed up on Legacy. That was super fun! Next he got on New World Order (12a). It had a hard start. He got to the third bolt clean and then it started pouring. He bailed. It looks like a stout route for the grade. We hung out for a while and eventually we went down and did The Stick. Awesome route. I hung once near the top. Very pumpy. I definitely want to redpoint it.
I am looking to go back next weekend. I have next Monday off. Jeff? JT? Norm?

Have you ever wrapped your wrists and/or used neoprene elbow sleeves? I have achey joints and do both. That and fish oil makes a lot of difference for me.

Rode the bike 75 minutes.

In my world, back squat thrusters also count as thrusters and don't hurt the wrists and elbows so much. For rock climbers, who have chronically tight forearms, thrusters are SO MUCH MORE difficult than for people who don't climb.
