Would you like some nuts?
Some climbing with Alistair, Eric, Guillaume, Kenway and Joana at the TRC. Can't say much since the gym was packed and we all split up to do our climbing, although I suspect that Kenway and Guillaume spent most of the night talking about their Halloween costumes. Barely made it home alive, as Guillaume seems to drive faster the more people there are in the van. Go figure.

Holly cow, the guy puts in a micro nut then goes for how many feet to the left! That thing looks insane. I notice he's wearing jeans, I am starting to think there is a correlation between climbing in jeans and climbing well, but I wonder if its causal. I propose to do a causality test by randomly assigning who wears jeans when we climb.
There's probably an explanation for the speed, something that relates speed and weight; or maybe its just that the quality of the climbing is inversely related to the speed I drive at.
BTW congrats to Miss Psst for sending the insanely hard hearts 12: wow!
Also, Kenway seems to be very close from making the penultimate clip on the 12 green: very impressive.
Sure... "Aliens work better", I think Sonnie sent that long runout because he didn't want to fall on that micro cam.
That clip on the 12 felt scary, but after watching Trotter I feel like such a wuss...
First video I'd seen where a climber is willing to take falls on protection as if the route were bolted. Insane.
