After church today I went up into Rock Canyon again and went bouldering. I found one of the boulders that I wanted to find last week. It has a V6 (which I'm still too much of a newb to climb), a V1, named Pocket Rocket, and a V0, named Left Side Slab. I climbed Pocket Rocket a few times, but I'm not sure if I started in the right spot; the book I have isn't real clear on the directions. After a few minutes there I decided to hike further up the canyon and enjoy the outdoors a bit. It's quite a beautiful canyon. I only went about 2 miles in and turned around. One of these days I'm just going to have to go as far in as it goes.
So I broke down and bought a training board today. It's pretty sweet. I have it lag bolted to a wall in my apartment (shhh....I think lag bolts are a bit bigger than the nails and screws they allow in the walls for pictures and other decorations). After just about 10 minutes on it, I'm beat. I'm surprised I lasted that long. I bought the Nicros Warrior, and It's got quite a few different variations to it.
And, it was just another day at work...We're still working on getting all the roof rafters up. There's a lot of work into this roof; lots of overbuilds, and it's about 1/2 handbuilt (i.e., vs. prefabricated roof trusses).

So I got some new climbing shoes today (the right shoe is a little tight...maybe my threshold of pain has diminished), and a guide to bouldering in Utah. So I couldn't not go for a climb after getting new shoes. I'd expect the climbing gods to do something horrific and terrible to me if I didn't go climbing. So I went up Rock Canyon, just east of Provo, and with my new book in hand and my gear on my back I headed up.
I tried to find a few boulders, but couldn't, and ended up finding one that I hadn't planned on going to, and it only had 3 problems and they didn't look very fun (plus they were V3 or 4). So I went back down the trail and found a boulder called Heroine Hut. One look at the rock was enough to know how it got the name. It looked like it was/is a place to go and get get stoned. So after about 2 or 3 climbs up a V0, I found out just how out of the game I've gotten. I think in a couple weeks, I'll get a campus board.
I've also started downloading some yoga vidcasts. I've never done yoga before, but I think it'll be good for my back and neck. I just did one "session" about 1/2 hour ago, and I think I'm gonna like it.
I just got the invite today, and am getting to know the service, and I'm liking it a lot. It seems really easy to use.
Anyways, heres a photo that has already been posted on my old blog, but I'm just playing around right now.
Wow. This thing is really easy and foolproof. I'm going to like Vox.
