Today I went buildering at my very favorite spot. The one with the nice long traverse which I had mastered for the first time last year, only to come back this spring to find that the municipal authority had sent some workers with a bucket of plaster who fixed all the cracks, and now some crucial holds are gone. But I'm thrilled about that, because there was the danger of the route becoming repetitive and now it's fresh and fun again.
I almost found a way past the crux today but I got distracted by some nice but chatty kids, and afterwards I tried at least two dozen times but simply couldn't find the route again. Had to stop when the tips of my fingers started to really smart from gripping the sandstone.
Anyway, hopefully there'll be the chance for a lot more climbing this summer. The weather was perfect. I missed tshirt weather.
