I have made it back up to the Pacific Northwest and have been making it out a bit to the local areas which has been fantastic. Bishop was amazing climbing with lots and lots of skin being eaten up along with a stark reminder that I need to get my closed crimp strength way up for that patina. Since I have gotten back I have gotten on the training wagon again. I ended up getting a copy of Mike Doyle’s training program out of a recent copy of “Rock & Ice” which should keep me on the right track, and I’m watching what I have been eating more closely than I have been.

I’ve been really excited to get out to Leavenworth and have made a few project lists for Goldbar, Leavenworth and Squamish. I should be spending four days this weekend out at L-town with Ari starting to tick off projects and doing some easy trad on the rest days.
