Watching Free Solo again right now and even though I’ve already seen it, it still gives me great anxiety.

Free Solo was crazy. The Dawn Wall was less crazy because they were at least tied on, but damn if they weren't just committed as fuck to getting it done.

I feel like this being in the sports forum is misleading, as it implies an RMer would actually do this.

Oh, I'm the opposite. That movie and Meru make me more certain than ever that I'll eventually free solo Enchanted Rock in Fredericksburg, TX.

My day's going OK. I'm eating too much lately, not exercising enough, and I'm having another footlong sub for my lunch again. I guess it's the lack of sleep. Man.. baby woke up 3 times again last night.. like every 2-3 hours every night! And when he's gone, staying the night at me-maw's we feel like celebrating our freedom so we tend to have a drink or two too much... so still don't catch up on sleep. I really hope he grows out of this soon. Maybe baby food will help fill him up for the night.

we went rock climbing in joshua tree last week (yes doug, we know . . .). the climbs were, on average, about 100 feet in the air. the fact that you're on wall of rock and have to pull yourself up or navigate crevasses with little to nothing to hang onto while being supported by a rope is terrifying. i actually get a little panicked thinking of that but without any support. it's absolutely nuts.

Some pursuits are best left in the wake of lockdown times, where the proper attention could be given.
