shoulder is doing fine...
elbow is doing fine...
wrist is doing fine...
...did something funky to my back in the "Steck-Salathe" Narrows simulator, at the bottom. Well, another thing to rehab!
Thanks Zander,
and Jay, Steve, Steve, Bob, Tony, Tom, and Gary!

we thought:
Association of Indoor, Off-Width Cracks: AIOWCs
or maybe
Indoor Off-Width Crack Association (IOWA)
but Garry's is outside, as is Steve's
Artificial Off-Width Crack Association (AOWCA)
or maybe
Wooden Off-Width Crack Association (WOWCA)

Yea..I tweaked my back a little too. Shouldn't have tried to learn the Jaybro invert technique.

My back is better this morning than last night.
However, I seem to have picked up a couple abrasions somehow.
Thanks for the fun.

I don't count abrasions any more, that is just part of the dues payment system...

my elbows have bad sunburn grade abrasions, and I was overall sore enough that a hot bath, making me late for work this morning, really did the trick!

The ultimate grimace is a stern taskmaker, as for the leg bruises, your private life is your own business!

Great times! Much better than going solo. There is also a symbiotic relationship thing goin’. I have never got up the 4 1/4 incher before last night. It was the sessions on Gary’s OW that gave me the "skills" to do it. As soon as we all heal up we’ll do it again. See ya,

FANTASTIC!! Makes me want to actually give that ow stuff a whirl... NOT!
Jay, is that Nat rolling her eyes at you boys?? Hilarious!
I'm off to tackle that OW that I posted pics of the other day... I won't try your upside down move, but I will most certainly keep you posted on progress...
Have fun playing!

Zander's turn in the 'Narrows' is exactly how I remember climbing the real deal.
Great photos. Especially the editorial look of the young lady.

Samanatha, yeah, that's Nat the one and only, she said she stuck her tongue out for the photo too.
Hope all went well on that one you had the picture of. Looks like the stuff of dreams. we had a great wide trip to yosemite, today.
Dojo! well put.

wow! Looks kinda painful to me, but like a good time was had by all...the essence of climbing! I'm not sure about that upside down technique, though.

More pictures from Zander's, here is Jaybro unlocking the secrets of Zander's finger crack, the leftmost of the four, and the most difficult
The rightmost crack is stacks and knee jams... here is spyork with his off-width face on
Zander applying new found skills ascends the big crack... his first successful trip up
The Steck-Salathe Simulator.... here is scuffy_b cruising the narrows
And Gary Carpenter just a comfortable pea in a pod
