Rock climbing and socially distanced visiting.

[wpadmirer]

I went rock climbing in the morning and was very annoyed that the route I wanted to do had a point in it that was too difficult for me. It was supposed to be a 5.8, but in the middle there was a move where my foot was above my waist and I was supposed to be able to swing my weight up over it to continue the route. Nope. Not happening. So I cheated

Thank you! The headache did go away, and I managed to get more done than I expected, so that was good.
Also the physical cards arrived, so I can start sending those out tomorrow! YAY!

Are the routes color-coded?

[wpadmirer]

Yes! In my gym, the color of the holds is uniform. So if you're doing the purple route, it means all the holds will be purple. It really helps. I've climbed in gyms where they mark the routes with tape on the wall next to the holds, and the holds themselves varying in color. That's a pain in the butt.

Ugh, sometimes people make me so angry!

I KNOW! I cannot imagine dealing with people doing that "taking a walk" thing in a group of 1,000. ARGH.

I've been reading about these protests disguised as "let's go for a walk" here too. Police seem hesitant about breaking things up too because they don't want to get too near these unmasked, unvaccinated nutjobs. I'd bring in the water cannons. Should be quite effective, especially at temperatures near the freezing point. *sighs*

[wpadmirer]

I think water canons are an excellent idea, but I think they're trying to avoid escalating things. I understand that. Clearly they want to be challenged so they can be "suppressed."

[beauty_forashes]

I agree and think you're right, it just makes me angry.
