The Sickness

Just as I was starting to see improvement, I got the flu and had to miss about two weeks of climbing. Im back in it now...two days ago I took my good friend Sammy to the gym and I was unable to pull down any v5s :( I've spent the last few days watching videos on "Louder than 11" Vimeo, so I'm still psyched for climbing, but I would be lying if I said my drop in grades isn't frustrating me. The good news is I see no other option than to keep climbing--"just keep climbing," as Dori would say. I'm miserable if I don't do some type of activity and climbing consistently keeps me wanting more--more so than any other sport I've tried. Hopefully consistency will pay off and I'll see a v9 before my athletic ability peaks!
