Very nice Tia, keep on crankin'!!!
However, the blog background and small print are a little tough for a youth challenged individual like myself....
But it's ok, I PROJECTED IT!!!

Thanks! I made the font a little bigger. My Dad would have said something in the same vein. :)

Looks like you found what floats your boat! I've spent very little time trying to get a specific climb that eluded me on the first 1 or 2 tries (except for in a climbing gym), but your writing helps me see the allure.
Font size is fine now, a plain background for the text body would be nice :)

Very thoughtful. But only in our sport could you dedicate so much earnest emotion and effort to something called "Monster Skank"!
"You know, the other day I had such a breakthrough effort on my project. I just really learned about the emotions that had been holding me back from realizing my evolution on Jesus Titty F*#king Christ. It's been a real journey for me on that route."

For Ninjakait:
You are called plain Kate,
And bonny Kate and sometimes Kate the curst;
But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom
Kate of Kate Hall, my super-dainty Kate,
For dainties are all Kates, and therefore, Kate,
Take this of me, Kate of my consolation.
The Taming of the Shrew, 2. 1

Nice to see someone pushing their limit TFPU.
PS: Is the photo of Giant Buddha from Hong Kong? I have seen one there.

Oh, Tia's feisty all right.
An example, If ever there was of nurture vs nature.
Like the writing style to Tia.

"when it is no longer enjoyable, why the hell are you doing it? "
My definite motto as a climber, why should it be like work???
Thanks
