Wow it was a PERFECT weather day at New Jack City today, and Lucke and I didn't see any other climbers all day. Life is good.

Nothing, but belayed jack up three climbs. It will be fun when he realizes he can lead 5.10. He is strong enough now but does not have the confidence or footwork on face climbs. Me, I have a bad shoulder currently and it is killing me to not climb or ride in the best weather we will have all year. 65-75 everyday for week now.

Got Jack out rope gunning for me in Spearfish Canyon after working most of the day. He is really starting to like leading and is getting a lot more confident. I think he did three 8's and a 8+ including one mixed route that took a few pieces.

Mike hope you heal up quick. looks like you are getting jack trained pretty darn well on how to get the rope up there for the old folks;)

Holy moly I guess you two got alpine starts this morning. I climbed a couple of the routes he did yesterday and got a little weirdness in the shoulder but not too bad. Been eating ibuprofen like pez and laying off it for the most part but it seems to be getting a little better. Anita looks like misery loves company, but glad I haven't had to go through anything like you have. He up soon.

Just realized I'm the one getting the alpine start as it is two hours earlier.

Mike. I found the best thing for my shoulder was to solo miles of easy rock smoothly with stretches and controled hangs. WhenI started I could not lift my arm up above my chest. I was so bummed out that I just had to go off by myself and climb. I would walk my fingers up the rock to get my arm up there and then I could do the move. Climbed a whole bunch of 5.7 that way. these were climbs I had wired so no jerky moves or slips. Just smooth movement.

Is that the third nut? Or will the normal two nuts suffice on Sail Away? Seemed like a two nut step across to me. Lucky too, 'cause I'll probably never grow that third one lol.

Two of us were watching this guy, a guide with his client I suspect, free solo Sail Away and go through his client's placements as he pulled them. I thought that was impressive... but then as he neared the step across he went into a philosophical discussion about personal improvement in climbing and how it related to the rest of your personal life. Talk about multitasking...
