"Blue Moon"

Went to Taylors Falls with Tom for Trad Lead climbing. Lead Blue Moon Grade 5.5 ! It had been a couple of weeks since my last trad lead. It feels great to lead climb, I was in the zone totally focused and solid climbing. We treated the climb like it was a multi-pitch, just so we could continue practicing anchor setting, hanging belays and rope management. I am really proud of my trad leading and look forward to future climbs.

I have also been continuing my rope ascending work -outs, maintaining my goal of 1000' per week. I have already logged 2080' of rope climbing. I feel it has been very beneficial for my core training and ripped ab quest. Climbing at the gym, I've made it a point to climb at least one roof overhang per night. The roofs use to be my nemesis and now my accomplishments. The power of goals cannot be under-estimated.
