Some serious shite on this thread. I walked along this beach in Tonga, swam for a while and then walked back. Truthfully that was last month, not today.

The Grotto Ceiling Simulator needed a few small repairs:
We switched out the 7/16 Dyneema sythetic winch cable to some 1/2" Dyneema so we would get less stretch. Of course that increased the 1/ sin(theta) at theta = 0.0 problem. To lessen the likelyhood of the ladder buckling we anchored both ends of the Dyneema snagger line to the building.
A compression spring was added to give 1.12" of easy travel with the snagger line which with a fall at the center would produce an angle of 5.7 degrees so a 150 lb person will put about 750 lbs on the wall. Because the ladder is compressed tight to the walls, the 300 lb rated ladder will resist some the wall deflection.
We felt we needed to work the thumb more in this routine so the first try at a pincher type hold was the 60 grit sand paper pinch.
We are working on two more ways of working the fingers that are an almost ready feature of these kind of ladders.
We cut away some wood from the spacer/blocking to make a 4" wide crimp of one inch depth.
There is a set of mono dwebe holds to be had by using the holes in the rung tubes. They will need a little burnishing to comphatise them.
A power work out is due tomorrow but I may push ahead the power training session one day and climb at Guernsey State Park. Temps 55, Sunny and no wind. 1st good climbing day in Jan.

I just finished 3 weeks of endurance. I would do enough laps to equal 1500-2000 feet on some 5.5-5.9 bouldering traverses after work with a headlamp and 10 pounds of extra weight. I would do it in one or two sessions. Took around an hour and a half at most. That would do that tue/thur. Saturday would go somewhere for a day trip. Monday and Wednesday would do 1 hour mat Pilates and 3x30 push-ups. Switching to power training for the next few weeks. Been feeling good and hope to do some dream routes this spring.

About an hour and forty five on the mt. bike with about 1,700' up and down. Me and two other dads have to do dawn patrol in order to get out. Despite the lack of sleep it has its rewards. The sun coming up with Santa Monica Bay reflecting the sky far below, city lights still on and crazy pink sky from the Glendora fire. Memorable. Wish I had taken a picture.

No Training on the Grotto Simulator Sunday but I did get the first new route 12 for WY Oregon Trail Romance. Temps 57F at Guernsey State Park. The route overhangs about about 20 feet in 50. I refer to the part that is the 50' above the redder base shown in the photo.
Vitale M: The power training pays off! Despite no real rock climbing in the last 5 wks due to extremely cold weather this was an easy cruise. I did have a one day affair with this line last year. Get a power routine on a system wall.
