I would be up for another go at Bacon and Ergs now that we know what gear to bring to avoid the deck. I suggest a proper outing this time with food, beer and a rousting peanut gallery to help with motivation. Lets keep digging this hole to success!

That's up on Physical Crag in Eldorado. Not too far in, a good after work challenge, we may even be able to talk Prod into carrying the gear.

Cool. How about this Saturday. I must admit, I'd hoped that the Road to Lucille would not involve doing a lot of hard offwidths - I mean, c'mon, offsidths are hard and they extract a toll on your skin and stuff. I was hoping more for like, eating vegemite sandwiches and flossing to get me through this.
But I'm not totally delusional. Clearly, a few 5.11 - 5.11+ offwidths need to be on the regimen if you hope to do a 5.12+ or harder offwidth (I guess). So this, 5.11b, short, but with a long hike offwidth, might be just the ticket...an early indication if I'll "have the right stuff".

Maybe keep up the flossing regimen, too.

I didn't start flossing or regularly putting on sunscreen until I was in my 40s. Now, I'm a good boy.
