climbing

I went climbing last night and made a move that pulled a bit too hard on that one slowly healing finger (seriously, finger, it's been three months, what the hell). I learned that I need to give it a day or two to recover when that happens and I have to stay away from the more demanding routes until then. So I tried something new - picked the easiest wall they got, but using my left arm. That was actually a lot of fun! That bunny slope, suddenly not so simple anymore. I have to try more of that, I like the balance of technique and strength required. And I can climb at my limit while still going easy on that $ยง%# finger.

Well, I'm off to the market to get some asparagus (season's started!) I have so many great Leverage fic to share, and one vid that is so full of badass awesomeness that, wow. Going to make a post later today. In the meantime, two short climbing vids: Introduction to Boulder Climbing. And here's 8 year old Ashima Shiraishi on Power of Silence (V10).

We're just having so much fun that the fear fades into the background. Most of the time. *g*
