Visions of Elvis and Friday at the gym...

I was hoping Kenway was going to make an Halloween post, but I give up. Here's a quick roundup. Kenway was definitely the star wining 2 climbing books and a t-shirt for his spectacular Elvis costume (sideburns holding with climbing tape). Eric was looking good as a mad scientist wearing tights! Leading was out of the question in the absence of light and with the kids running everywhere so we top-roped instead. We struggled on almost everything: 9 warm-up under the arch, 10 (orange), 11 (blue), 11 (green on the arete) in the front.

Then miss Psst McDonald showed us she can do anything we try better than we can by walking the length of a slackline (Kenway and I could barely do one step). This was followed by some more nonsense on rock rings (which left me sore). After a futile attempt at bouldering, we all ended up eating hotdogs and drinking beer. This is the point at which Miss Deejay (aka Miss Too-cool-to-climb) made a video of Eric Dancing! Watch out, this seems like it could take the web by storm. The drive home was unusually calm in the absence of J and B...

After eating twice at the restaurant yesterday (one of which included churros with a chocolate dipping sauce at Mercat), I decide to make my way to the gym today. Here's the report:

1. 7 minutes on the treadwall (slightly overhanging at slow speed).


2. deadlifts (weight too low to be posted without shame, but better than last time).


3. 27 burpees (2nd set of the day).


4. 10 towel pullups (both sides of the towel wrapped in the hands to improve the open grip).
