The next day Jeff, Andrea and I went down to Fresno to climb at the old climbing gym I used to work at, Yosemite Fitness. Travis joined us later that day, along with Laural, who I haven't seen in almost a year. The day started out well, Travis arrived before we did and was already warming up on some problems. Laural slept in and didn't come till 12. I jumped on a some SWEEET V3's and 4's to warm up on. I spent most of the day working on a crimpy V8 that did a number on me. I tore some skin off of some fingers that shed some blood, kept my shoes on too long and couldn't lock in any heel hooks 'cause the inside heel was too sweaty...Travis, Jeff and Andrea mostly toproped and climbed some routes using the autobelay. It was cool to see them getting on stuff that was challenging for their level of climbing.
Laural and I spent alot of time together helping each other out on some hard routes. It was so great to climb with her again after so long. Up until Sat. I had always talked to Jeff about how great of a climber Laural is. I don't think he really believed me until we watched her climb...out of the corner of my eye, I could see Jeff's jaw drop to the ground...he was floored. After about a good 6 hours of hard climbing, well at least 6 hours for me haha...we decided to end the day with a trip to Teazers(equivelent of Starbucks, but with tea).
Greg stopped by, which was great, except when you put him and Jeff in a room together, madness occurs! Good madness though, they're really goofy and funny. I probably drank way too much tea that night, but the sugar helped me share lots of great stories and keep the energy alive. Overall, great weekend.
Today is my day off and I'm contemplating whether I should stay here and relax or go down to Fresno to visit my uncle.
Hmm...
