Over coffee and a book today I have been contemplating my
trip…
With the rising temps here in Boulder, today being over 85,
I might be moving on to Salt Lake City with a return visit to Boulder in
mind. I have a list of boulder
problems that may appear as words and numbers to some, but to me are much
more. Having spent hours hiking,
analyzing, and attempting these climbs I have quite an emotional attachment to
them. I have created this type of attachment to many of the climbs I have done
in the past.
The climb that stands out the most is, an outstanding
project of mine, the boulder problem I based this entire trip around. This climb I have put three days of
work on, countless reoccurring dreams, and many beta replays in total. This may seem a little over the top or
dramatic, but on the other side of the spectrum, necessary. There is nothing about this climb I
have forgotten about, down to the smallest foot chip, sequence, or body
position. This climb is in Little Cottonwood Canyon just
outside of Salt Lake City and called Dominatrix.

My plan is to get reacquainted with climbing on the granite
of LLC and when my fitness is right
I plan to hopefully dispatch the climb in a single session, but plans can get a
little more complex when they are seen in color opposed to being in black and
white.

Over the past few days I have been resting and trying to
recover from a rolled ankle. I can
walk and everyday it is getting stronger and I am able to walk farther, stretch
better and enjoy my day more. So,
my next climbing day will probably be here in boulder at the Movement Climbing
Gym, then off to SLC. Stick around
this trips not over yet!
