But, it was probably worth it!
As mentioned in the previous episode, Miss Lady and I got up ins Haycock (affectionately referred to as "The 'Cock") on Thursday. We expected resistance in the form of X-TREMEly hot rocks, as well as a literal barrier of foliage. We went 1 for 2 in that regard. The foliage was there, but the day was actually not like walking straight into the Devil's kitchen.
However, we did have to cross a river to get up ins!
You have come to a river. Will you attempt to ford the river?
> Y
You attempt to ford the river. Your wagon overturns! You lose two oxen and 400 pounds of food.
You have died of dysentery.
You have died of dysentery.
Our adventure also marked the first use of my new crash pad! It is tres delicieux, oui? I think that one of those colors might be cerulean. No off-mauve, though.
Soooo . . . you're gonna sponsor me now, right, guys? . . . Guys?
Much of Haycock's climbing involves very few footholds. Haycock is what you would call a friction area. Usually, with higher temps, climbing at Haycock is very difficult.
Pretend this V2 is actually V8.
Miss Lady, however, said "non-ideal conditions be damned," and decided to crush anyway. I don't think I had ever heard her yell on a boulder problem before, but there's a first time for everything THAT IS AWESOME.
Eventually, whether it was from lack of sleep or lack of caffeine, I started losing my mind. Upon the Philadelphia Flyers' valiant victory over the Montreal Canadiens a few days ago, Captain Roommate texted me these two words: Meatreal Clownadiens. I think I started yelling "Meatreal Clownadiens" in the moment depicted in this photo, but it's all a blur.
At least, that's the excuse I'm going with here
It's okay, the doctor told me this would be temporary . . .
And there you have it.
NEW SENDS LIST:
Miss Lady:
- Bubblegum, V3
- Unnamed, V2
- NOTHING
I'm not jealous or anything, though. I guess.

This looks to be documentation of crushing, excellent crushing, and screaming. I will sponsor you with high fives and well wishing.
ok first, I LOVE the Oregon Trail references :)
and secondly, will this blog contain only your strength gaining maneuvers or those of your "big getting comrades"
do tell. do tell.
but keep it up :)
sweet pad. notice the bright colors they used to make that sweet pad. your tee-shirt should take some notes. bright colors will give you a +2 in strength and charisma, and your photos will look real boss too. just sayin.
Aimee -- You will learn soon!
Dann -- Thanks for the advice. Next time, there will be brighter threads.
I know some people that never made it past that river. They were not strong and they do not climb anymore. This blog is so strong and could ford rivers at least 3 times as large. Keeping crushing.
