Gearing up

        There is nothing better then skipping out of work for a few days and heading out to your local crag with good friends. I'm headed out for 5 days to get the last few climbs in before heading to Yosemite. I have decided to not call it training because training means your working for something, and the word WORK i do not like. Climbing for me is not work it's a passion.  I have always found climb to be a relief for me. There is something about a hanging belay for me that just puts me in a place that makes me feel so free and open. No worries to the world but what's ahead of me. Unfortunately when you come back down the world is there right where you took off, but i,you, us ,we all look at it in a different way when we get back down tot he ground. Maybe the rock calms me. Yes for you who know me, i know, i know, i don't calm down, but maybe for a split second it does.
Every time i head down to this area to climb, I'm always thinking what will i get on next. So i make a bucket list, start hike that 40 minute hike up with the fullest intention for doing all the climbs i picked and every time i get distracted by another beautiful climb an maybe get 2 out of 5 done. Well hopefully with 5 days there i can get it all done. So when i return ill be sure to up date you on all the good times and good climbs that happened. Hopefully i get some good snap shots to share to you all.
 So as i sit here typing this tonight with my gear flung all over the living room floor.( I'm sure Kim loves it ) I say to all you Climbers, hikers , kaykers, runners, park goer's. Whatever hobbies you have , enjoy it to the fullest have fun in life and always take that time to step away for the world and enjoy the beauty of mother nature.
 See ya on the flip side
