Rob sent Practice Climb 101 January 18, 2009. I am sure Steven will send soon too. I am hoping to hook up with him this weekend and if we have enough time give the fourth pitch a go in addition to the first three. Steve Levin confirmed about a month ago that the entire route has never seen a complete free ascent of all four pitches in one go. Rob and I went up to very over hung Kloof Alcove last Wednesday. Kloof was a great on sight and I am really jazzed to give Sequential a try soon. Rob dropped a TR on Superfly and this looks like the next long term project. Very bouldery and I will have to come up with some sequence to fit my long frame into this tight boxed in problem.

In the meantime between outdoor climbing stints weather permitting the usual winter beat downs happen two or more times weekly at the local gym. I have been mixing in brutal Spot sessions once a week that require two to four days to recover from properly. Hopefully, this will bring back my power. R&J North is working it’s usual magic to get the endurance back up to par. If I can just keep from getting injured it should be a great Spring ’09!
