- First ascent of Where I Stood
- Trip to kZN in the C30 with the greatest daughters in the entire universe
- Trip down the eviscerator at uShaka (Mirella went down it last month)
- Answer the question of whether Tori or Missy is the best
What is going to enable the above?
- I need to up my climbing game and get my eye back on the ball. No more dicking around on arbitrary activities. While these are amusing, they are contributing to the rapid disintegration of my wrists, are frustrating me because I can't be bothered to try (and hence end up feeling like a loser) and are taking time away from the real objective. Focus. Focus. Focus. Belief. Belief. Belief. In fact, it's time to go public with this: I am strong, light and skilful. I can do all the moves on this route. Nobody can hang on poor fingerlocks better than me. I want to do the first ascent of this climb. This is the most important goal in my life right at the moment. Clipping the anchors at the top of this climb will be an incredibly satisfying experience, looking down at the wall sweeping away beneath me. I can get the wrist and finger pain under control for long enough to get up the climb.
- Money.
- Closed eyes.
- I am listening to Hey Jupiter as I type this. Hey Jupiter is a staggeringly good song. I wish I had a video of the climb to set to the music. Actually I do.
- (Back to objective 1) Re-read the post called Value.
- (Back to objective 4) Maybe Hey Jupiter wins... It certainly doesn't come 2nd. That is, the live version (there are many on Tori's legal bootlegs), or the version played on keyboard etc. Watching Tori play this at Sydney Opera House as her encore...
