I'm up in Lexington, waiting out the rain. The weather had been perfect up until now, but we seem to be in for a few days of relative shittyness. Oh well, I need the rest.
Josh and I went to a crag called Purgatory yesterday, and we got on what might be one of the greatest pitches of rock climbing ever sculpted from stone. Starting in one crack system, you climb up for only 15 feet or so, then traverse on small pockets up towards a striking, steep, and intimidating arete. With total body tension, you climb the prow to ever more difficult moves, and finally get a chance to breathe...when you clip the anchors from the only big hold on the route.
AMAZING.
Table is still closed because of the fire, but the rain today should help.
Otherwise, it's more of the same...climbing until I can barely move, shuffling back to the cabin for a massive feed preparation, and then passing out for 10 hours of sleep. This is nearly a perfect life....just missing the good company of those left in CO.
Hope everyone is well!
