Definitely not the fastest I’ve climbed this route since it was over 2 hours into the session. But this pink 5.10a/b is currently my favorite route in the gym. #RockClimbing

Sprained my right knee climbing about a month ago. Not much climbing right now. But the good news is that my left ankle, which I previously dislocated, is basically good as new.
iPhone 17 case designed by @mmousuke.
New phone case by @mmousuke.bsky.social. This is my second one. It looks great.
New PB in the Glitchless Any% category of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. My next goal is sub 7 hours.
And finally, here’s my thousandth route for the year. I chose this 5.10b to finish off the challenge since it’s one of my current favorite routes on the wall.
1,000 climbing routes (table view).
Here’s the same data in a table format. Boulders count as 0.5 climbs.

Here’s the graph of my routes throughout the year. Can you spot where I dislocated my ankle?
1,000 climbing routes completed.
Completed 1,000 climbing routes for the year. It would have been nice to have a slightly higher average rating, but I couldn’t really climb hard routes following “the incident.”
Top rope routes.
More cool new routes in the gym. The white 5.10a is my favorite of these routes so far. The start was pretty awkward.
The start of this 5.13 was surprisingly doable. Absolutely no way I was going any higher. There are some cool new routes set at the gym right now.
Starting to get back into climbing 5.10s after a finger tendon injury 2 months ago. Still not touching crimps though.
Here’s a white 5.10b. The footholds at the top were pretty slippery.
Phantump Pokémon pumpkin carving.
The second of this year’s #Pokemon pumpkin carvings for halloween. Who’s that Pokémon?
Pikachu pumpkin carving.
The first of this year’s #Pokemon pumpkin carvings for Halloween. Not my cleanest work.
If anyone needs a freelance content/copy writer, I am available.
While legal content writing is primarily what I currently do, I also have years of experience writing for various other industries, including manufacturing and home services.
The Naruto Chakra Nature Quiz on DoubleSama.com now has an option to share your results to Bluesky! #Naruto
Probably pulley related. That finger is weaker than the others now and I can’t put weight on it, so only easy climbs with jugs for me for a while.
I’ve had finger injuries before when bouldering, but never one that felt or sounded like that.
Blueberries and cheese croissant.
Pre-climbing blueberries & cheese croissant from Saturday morning.
Squirrel eating a grape.
Lenny likes grapes.
A squirrel with a walnut.
Lenny doesn’t know how to open walnuts and won’t let me help.
You don’t have to pay. I’ve been using Buffer to schedule posts for multiple platforms, including Bluesky, for years. “Refill anytime” just means that once a scheduled post goes live, that one of your 10 slots opens up again. You only have to pay to have more than 10 posts scheduled at once.
Lenny the squirrel.
Meet Lenny. He’s just a chill guy.
Climbing finger injury.
Climbing session ended early tonight after I felt and heard a crack/snap in my lefthand middle finger on a crimp. I was able to move it, so hopefully it isn’t too bad.
Pokémon TCG Pocket Dragonite ex deck list.
Cooked up this Dragonite ex deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket the other day and it’s been pretty consistent. Dragon decks are finally usable.
Evolv climbing shoes.
Got new evolve Kronos climbing shoes today. I was previously wearing Scarpas, and I think I like these more so far.
Completed two new 5.10b routes last night. Still haven’t completed a 5.10c, but maybe Saturday will be the day.
Blue 5.10b
The hardest route I completed today was this blue 5.10b on the outcropping. It had one big move and a lot of awkward body positioning.
Blue 5.10b
3.5 hours of climbing today. Flashed this blue 5.10b. I found a cool 5.10c that doesn’t look too bad that I may attempt on Monday.
I don’t often watch movies, but I watched Godzilla Minus One today and it was good.
Gray 5.10.
Flashed this gray 5.10 last night. The “ladder” of slopers in the middle of the route wasn’t great. And the vertical pinch above them was horrendous.
