I’ve gone into what I can only describe as hibernation mode. Not super inspired to go to kettlebells classes, not jonesing to climb, not wanting to do much of anything that involves leaving the house. It’s dark, it’s grey, it’s cold. Give me a warm beverage and some slippers, I’m staying in. I remember this Continue Reading
3,000 pullups. That is our goal. Now that I’ve joined the team of people who *can* do pullups, Seth and I have set a little challenge for ourselves. Together, we are working to rack up 3,000 pullups. The number came about sort of randomly; at the time my max was 2 reps and his was Continue Reading
Well, it’s happened. I have finally successfully completed my first strict, tactical pull-up! And my second one, and my third! If you know me, you know that this has been a long time coming. It was well over a year ago when I made this a goal for myself. Why did it take so long? Continue Reading
I’m not sure how such an awesome route can have such a lame name. “1/2 Route, AKA Unknown.” It’s listed in Mountain Project as a “warm-up” route to the 12a next door, but for me a 10+ is a worthy route all on it’s own, not just a warm-up for the harder stuff around it. Continue Reading

Climbing across the ceiling is fun. I’ve been working on this for a bit and finally got all the way across yesterday, much to my delight. My friend Richard snapped this great shot, mid-ceiling.
Once upon a time there were three women. They wanted to go climbing on some rock walls, so they packed up their bags and headed out to the crag. The car ride was filled with stories and donuts, and all arrived in good spirits. Up the trail they went. Harnesses and helmets were donned, the Continue Reading
This is the first of a few posts I’ll be writing on the topic of fear and anxiety. Something that I, and many of us, have had a lot of dealings with. I am not an expert or professionally trained in any way, I’m just relating my experiences and the processes I’ve found that have Continue Reading
We are having a stunning show of colors this fall. Check this out:
We didn’t make it to our regular Tuesday evening kettlebells class last night. So, Seth and I grabbed the bells we have at the house and walked over to the neighborhood park for our own workout. I’ve always loved the *idea* of swinging outside, and doing my own workout, but I’ve avoided it because I Continue Reading
