never upon a fallen field

hawkwing_lbI am mighty.
Today, I led three routes at the climbing wall. Two of which were 6As, of which one was upon the roof.
Of course, these were attended with much stopping and hanging on the rope, but still, three routes led. I feel almost like a real climber.
(I also toproped six and nine-tenths other routes. One and nine-tenths were 6Bs, and okay, so the nine-tenths had far too much falling in there, and one was a 6A, two were easy routes on the slab, and one was a 5+ that nearly took the skin off my hands, because I was that tired by then. But still, mighty climbing.)
I have never been this tired, though. This term has been too long, and I am stupid with over-exposure to the world. I don't know, but I hope I can steal some time from the thesis to recover myself.
Of course, my lecturer wants our class to read Anthony and Cleopatra for our own edification over the break, too. At least I have an excuse to avoid my family over the holiday period. Not that this is an unmitigated good.
My to-do list, it grows by the day.

Since the lead route on the roof is a project I've been working on, on and off, for three months, and I was at the point where I thought I'd never convince my brain I could do it. (It's at least as much mental as physical, the bloody roof.)
