To whomever chalked the tick marks on the fingers/thin-hands at IronWorks:
You totally ruined my aesthetic experience of that climb. Thanks a lot.


In all seriousness though, all my training in the Valley this winter/spring is totally paying off. I ran up the the two smaller cracks no problem, and (barely) managed to get myself up the off-fists too. I could barely make it up any of them last year -- I'm totally ready for next year's gym season!

Yep, the tick marks were for real. Hilarious.

Dude, of course there's a gym season! It's way too cold to climb in winter -- they never have the heat turned on in that place. Plus, most the indoor crack climbing comps are in November.

Tip: run laps on Reed's direct in winter to build up endurance for those 30ft power splitters at IW. You'll be ready for those comps in no time!

Those may have been from the shipoopoi aid class,





but after all, Spring IS









tick season.
