so today is my day. today has been one of the best climbing days in my recent history. ive never felt as good as i did today at coopers. it seemed as if everything i touched i sent.
pocket problem: 2 tries
shadowboxer arete: 2 tries
tomb raider roof: 1st try
long roof: 1st try

and most importantly, coral. on the second try of the day. amazing.







today, something clicked, and my left hand stuck the pocket like it never wanted to leave. i then slowly brought my right hand up to the other small pocket, then left hand to the huge jug edge. and then it was done. like it never even happened. it was awesome. i havnet felt this good about climbing in weeks. ill most likely be on cloud nine for another 4 days. i also feel that its better for me to get my shoulder looked at soon so that i can get back into a rhythm, but wow. what a day.

so....no pictures today. sorry.

i did yoga this morning. it made me feel a lot better because i feel i havent been doing enough athletic activities. this week i should be talking to someone about fixing my shoulder.

in other news, ive been speaking with a company called lululemon about doing an internship and then hopefully having a job with them. they make yoga and fitness clothing and are looking to expand into climbing wear. its pretty stylish stuff and im impressed with their company philosophies. we will see what hapens with that.

nothing else overly important to say. ill post again here soon.
