The red this weekend was totally rad! About time - the weather up until now had been just down right dreadful. It was sunny, but cold, which means that its cold in the shade, but hot in the sun - not that I'm really complaining, but rather stating the fact.
The thing about Miguel's Pizza Shop (THE hangout place at the red) is that it changes, every year - just a little bit (and some years more) - so its interesting to see all the new seasonal nuances. Its nice that there is amply bathroom space there now and the sinks are inside - sweet!
I love that place and I miss living there....but my 4 day a week J-O-B is a pretty good deal.
I basically got my butt kicked on everything - and it was funny - I knew that I would be scared on lead - it happens ever year - after bouldering - I get nervous when taking big falls - so I didn't go all the way to the chains on Tuna Town before jumping (though I did all the hard moves on it.)
I did skip the last bolt on "Cell Block 6" at the Surf and jump almost from the anchors - that was a fun one.
I was working and there was a this cool french dude there (who I met last season) - well - I grabbed the draw as I did the move and was like "That's French style right?"
Well...after hanging I did the next session, just barely, my feet cut, I grabbed the draw clipped screaming and then said take take take ! and he goes "So that's American style then?" It was really funny.
Here's a photo of me with the Pope, the Lead Singer from U2 and the Dahl Lama. Er well - close enough.
