• White V4, cutloose campus crimpy thing

We were down in Connecticut over the weekend for “second Christmas” with my in-laws, which was a grand time. I’ve watched as both families (mine and $wife’s) have gotten progressively more sober, which is really interesting to see.

We should have brought a couple edibles but totally forgot, so it was a completely sober weekend. $wife had a lot of trouble sleeping, which meant that my sleep was interrupted, too.

Then off to the climbing gym for $kid’s class. Just worked on boulders today. All the new ones lacked start/finish labels and grades, though they put them in the Pebble app so we could find the grades that way at least.

I sent a new white V4, which starts with a mild dyno followed by a totally cut-loose one-handed grab into a small crimp, then a back flag into a second smaller crimp. Pretty spicy for a V4, took me several tries. I can usually get V4s in one or two.

Spent most of the time projecting a new green V5 that’s super powerful. I got pretty far on it so I think it’ll go next time, if my back cooperates. My back is currently not cooperating.

We finished the latest season of What We Do in the Shadows and then realized we never watched the previous season of Star Trek: Lower Decks, so we’re powering through that now. It’s such a good show, especially for fans of the earlier shows. They’re always referencing subtle lore across all of them and it’s charming and hilarious.
