"rest day" (if you call driving 9 hours and having an 18 wheeler trying to share you space "rest"...)

Open water swim in Roblin Lake.
A prize to the first person who identifies the county where this lake is located.

Also walked about 3 miles laying out the first 6 holes of the new golf course!

Prince Edward County, Ontario?

Got back from Colorado yesterday. I enjoyed the time spent with many great friends. Did many good routes. Lots of onsight 11s. I got on a few 12s. Sent 2. Took a 30' whipper on one. Kind of an awkward fall. Scraped and bruised my ankle a little. It's ok though. I strained an oblique on a 45 degree overhanging crack climb. It might be a few days before I start training hard again. It's good to be home and can't wait to start training hard again.

Saturday-Sunday 6-18-19-2011
Climb:
Climbed at The New with Lena.
Saturday was decent early but started to get humid and slimey later in the day.
Warmed up on For What? (5.10b).
Hung the draws on Maximum Overdrive (5.11c) for Lena's Red Point.
Hung the draws on Narcissus (5.12a)
We both one-hung it. I can't believe I fell off the jug at the crux.
Sunday was wet and mankey.
Warmed up on For what? (5.10b) again.
Lead Chunko Goes Bowling (5.9)
Hung the draws on Moonpie Deluxe (5.10c). It felt really hard for the grade. I sat once near the top where it gets slopey. Not very good conditions for slopers. I'll have to go back and red point it.

Not a bad weekend, but Narcissus really beat me up. My legs look like I was attacked by a short dog.

I'm glad to see Jeff getting to the New so often. "New River Jeff" is back. Great job on Maximum Overdrive. That's a sweet route. The one left of it is really good too. "New World Order." It's 11d but it felt a lot harder that a lot of 12s that I have done. "Reckless Abandon" is really good too. It's 12b but felt easier than "New World Order." It is on the left side of The Colosseum. I hope to get down to the New in a couple of weeks.

Maximum overdrive was really fun. I wanted to get on New World Order, but it started to rain before I was able. I watched Christina nearly flash it. She fell at the last move. Reckless Abandon is on the list, but it is very intimidating, so I'll have have to work up the courage first. I really want to get on Six Dollars, Satisfaction Guaranteed and Under the Milkyway.

I'm not planning to go this weekend, but I'm hopeing to go Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday forth of July weekend. I really hope you can make it. I really enjoy climbing with Lena, but I miss climbing with my buddy Tim.

Prince Edward County is 166' correct!

ten hour drive today, ouch,

yoga and fishing (not at the same time, but that would be an interest couplet)

A prize for the first person who identifies the county and nearest settlement for this body of water:

Barrière Bay of Lake Des Quinze

Glad to hear you all are climbing well.
I am 100% booked for this weekend, for 7/4 weekend, could consider 7/11 weekend, but then am completely booked until second week of August....

I'm writing about climbing. Does that count?

Longest day of the year, nearly 24 hours of sun in Yellowknife!

Swam 100s this morning, experimenting with various technique.

Will do xfit lifting things this evening. Maybe use 10 pound pikes (fish) as the hand weights...
