...because you can't change the world, but you can make a dent...

Girls can even climb better than boys.

Tonight was a new climbing milestone. Yes, I finished that V4 traverse no sweat, but it should really be downgraded because it wasn't that hard. And yes, I've tried working V4 or two before, unsuccessfully, but hey, I tried.

Tonight was way better than all of that. I worked a V4 with "the guys". The ones who are so good I don't know their names because I've never spent this much time with them. It was a V4 that even Tad had to work through a number of times, with a move that he claims was harder than the white route next to it (though it was a crimpfest, so I won't rub it in too hard)... It just felt really good to be making solid progress on a climb that Tad found pretty difficult.

Now if only Stacy and I could go to the right bars once in awhile.

a V4 is a V4, miss badass climber! i still have yet to finish a V4.

and yes, girls have been known to have much better technique than the boys. and less of an ego. and are more graceful. our feet are most likely less stinky too. although maybe i should retract that last one b/c if you compare a girl climber to a boy non-climber...i'd be scared to think who'd lose the stinky feet contest...
