I'm going back to Leggo My Ego V6 today. I'm going to try keeping my left foot lower, and if that doesn't work I'll try the left heel hook beta. All I have to do is get to the throw. I know I can do the throw. I just have to figure out a less strenuous, higher percentage way of getting there.
I'm hoping my left achilles will cooperate. It was aggravated during my second climbing sesh the other day. I put my shoe on and it felt terrible. I should've just not climbed, but it seemed so strange that my left achilles could be hurting I just kept going. Yes, my priority is my achilles, but I also really want to climb today. I made some good progress on Leggo the last time, and I've been thinking about it a lot. I think I got too wrapped up in the short person beta. The guys I saw do the bottom were both several inches shorter than me. That high left foot could be bad for me. Plus, I have to figure out how to be as NOT scrunched as possible. I don't do well scrunched. That's why the bottom of Leggo is way easier for shorter people, while the top is way harder.
I might stay in the Blue Elk Lodge tonight in Leavenworth. It would set me back $300 after taxes. But it's OK. My monthly budget for getting off the boat is $400. Then again, if I drive south on December 1st, to Bend, Bishop and beyond to J-Tree and Red Rocks, I'll be spending a lot more on lodging. There's no way I'm camping in Bishop again. Last time it was fucking freezing. Maybe if I got a new sleeping bag, though...
I'm thinking about staying in Bishop for a week in December. As long as it's not too cold the first night, maybe I could even extend by camping the first night. That way I'd be in Bishop eight days. Climbing every other day, that's four days of climbing! I can't do what I did in Squamish, which was climb two days, take one day off. My body starts to degrade. But you need a bit of time in Bishop, if you're going to actually project anything...
The goal for that week would be to send a V4 there. Maybe a V5?
Ketron Classic, Anti-Hero, Serengeti, Molly, Solarium...any other suggestions for for good (easy) 4's and 5's in Bishop? Preferably in the Happies or the Sads, since my car can barely make it to the Buttermilks.
Am I caffeinated right now? I had two cups of cacao with a superfood powder that has maca, ashwagandha and reishi.
I'm theobrominated.
