The Rock

My forearms are trembling as I type this. It feels as though my fingerprints have been scraped off my. I'm sweaty and dusty. And I had a great time after work today.

Earlier this week I took my shoes and a change of clothes and did a trail run before going home after work. Today I went to Stoney Point for some bouldering. This was my first time out on a real rock (as opposed to a gym), but I still didn't have shoes or chalk so I stuck largely with the "baby" boulders. It was grand just watching some of the people there, who make it look so easy, like they're part spider or part monkey or something. I now have something to aspire to, and I think I may have nailed my next outdoor gear purchase.
