First a few photos. Here's a sequence of Gaby sending the crux of her first solid 5.11 (maybe 11b) since the 1990s. This was last year (2019), right here in Balcarce. The pictures say: July. She couldn't do the moves at first and had to practice it a bit, but she learned pretty quick. She had never climbed it before.
We did OK the past couple of years, getting out to climb. We climbed in Spain, the US and, of course, Argentina. I loved Spain. Joe came back last summer and we took an extended trip, with Gaby, Ceci, and her boyfriend, to Piedra Parada. It was all fun. Maybe I'll put some pictures up later. But since March, this year has been a bust. Which is the main reason I'm back.
This pandemic has put me in a weird funk. I've spent way too much time connected to the internet. It's been going on for months. Part of that was my job, but it was like I couldn't disconnect. Now it's time to get out and smell the roses.
So I'm trying to get motivated. Get my ass off this chair. and get back in shape, I was in pretty good shape in March. I just lost it. Maybe it's vain and self-centered to start a blog with the idea to get myself in shape. So be it. Today it starts. We'll see if this works.
One more photo sequence, this time of Gaby climbing boulder in Balcarce last year. The pictures say: March.
