This was just a simple week.
I climbed at Island Rock twice this week; on Tuesday and Thursday. It was nice to be back. I started to build my circuit; a group of boulder problems that I could do easily as a warm up, or to pump out at the end of my climbing session.
John taught a class on climbing anchors Thursday evening, and it was a wonderful surprise when he showed up before I left Thursday afternoon. I showed him my projects... and couldn't use any of his beta. His climbing style is currently so different from mine; he is all arms, and I am all feet. However, he did find that my beta on one problem was easier than his; that 'give and take' is always nice, but it is so infrequent since he is a much stronger boulderer than I am.
Things were simple. I climbed. I progressed. No fireworks. There are times when that is all we need... just to float with the flow of the stream.
