rain warriors

today bret and I headed out to little si. it was soaked on friday so our doubts were high. we really didnt think we were going to get much climbing. so we brought a bunch of leaver draws and biners to replace a bunch of stuff that got worn out this summer.
but when we got to the parking lot it was warmish and we got psyched. we got to the wall and it was bone dry on most routes. bret was planning on doing the dr. evil and i wanted to climb 10 pitches. fitness check.
both of these things went as planned. bret did the dr. evil and i was able to do 10 pitches, which i cant remember the last time i had the time out there to do that.
i did, rainy day (12a) for warm up, hydrophobia (12c) for the 2nd, chronic(13b) twice, full californication(13a) twice, psychosematic(12d) twice, then techno(12c) twice and back to back.
this was a great fitness day for me. i have been losing confidence cuz of the weather and not getting outside last weekend. plus climbing in the gym is just depressing cuz i dont feel very strong when i do.
hopefully we will get many more days like this this winter. it really is only going to take getting out there to keep this psyche and check the fitness. good day, good send bret. even though bret doesnt meet the oldguy.com criteria, his send today was still newsworthy. love to see who he has become.
