Finished Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe. Came away thinking the Troubles are under-discussed when it comes to colonialism, facism, and the imperial boomerang, at least here in the states. I’m ashamed I was so ignorant
I’ll give examples but none of them are as on the nose as this headline

Even the goofiest rock climbing video contains a few frames where you look cool. This is how the mainstream media lies to you

🧗 Got my first 10c. Slab/vertical with crimps and big underclings. Full rest in the hueco. Crux is mantling the large shelf above
It’s been said this is an 11 if you’re short. The amount of chalk I saw on awful holds which were skippable for me seems to support that
Gumbo Love 10c

🧗 Everyone loves this boulder but a few things about it are underrated. The drum sounds it makes. The armchair geology in its comment section on mountain project

I love political vagueposts
Have progressives really internalized this in some way? Which beliefs need examination? Like, I’m open to that
Are you just venting because you had an infuriating argument with a “progressive” social Darwinist?
We’ll never know

The acorn incident
Bouldering day. Huge acorns pelting down like hail. Thought I was gonna lose an eye
I did this one back in March, but noticed later that I strayed off route. I feel better about ticking it after this attempt. Same difficulty imo but them’s the rules

Took my 12’ paddleboard-with-a-camping-chair-on-it to the Hiawassee. Rafting guide friend said it would be totally chill. It definitely was not chill at 2 generators, but I would do it again. Incredibly pretty river. Capsized once, got a broken toenail and some bruises. Found a ripe pawpaw

🧗 The top of this one has a pinch that’s so well-fitted to a human hand that it approaches art. Should have been called Gaia’s Handshake

🧗 Back at the Obed. Steady rain and thunder rolled in as we broke camp. Decided to have a cozy day beneath the roofs at Lilly Bluff rather than commit to the south Clear approach and pray for dry rock. Brought the stove and had some very good freeze dried bibimbap

Nearly done w/ Stormlight Archive book 2. Taravangian is darkly funny to me. He has brilliant scholars who know statistics, etc. But when he has a “day of genius” it’s mostly “hmm. We should do eugenics” and then they stop him from doing that

New project for fall: Marshmallow Arete V3. Tried it a few times last night
Good: Start is consistent thanks to discovery of cool toe hook/hand-foot match beta. Long moves in middle mitigated by wingspan
Bad: Feet at bottom are both bad and obscured by a roof. Topout is… highly questionable

Snorkeled in a nice clear, rocky creek yesterday. Had a wonderful time observing the local wildlife until a school of bluegills decided that one particular freckle on my leg was a bug and started biting. Bastards
