Books 2010: oof.
Books 2010: 8
8. Charles De Lint, Mulengro.
This is so very much an eighties book. So very much an eighties book.
But entertaining, nonetheless.
Climbing today. Good day, the sun shining in through the glass windows, and the Best Climbing Partner doing the friendly mocking thing.
I led the 6A on the roof, led half of a new-to-me 6B+ (before that went all kind of pear-shaped: what was I thinking, trying a 6B+ cold), and led one of the easier 6As. Toproped a 5, and a 6A+ (poorly: I forgot how to do the damn thing) and improved on my black 6C project of the tiny reachy balancy holds. Still not up to getting the top without cheating, but closer.
Finished up with the slab: a 5, and then - on a bet - the 3, using only feet and left hand. Which was actually a hell of a lot of fun, and I didn't even fall off.
Tomorrow it's back to class. Ah, well. The sooner I register, the sooner I can starting fretting about the arrival of my teeny government grant.
