if your wit me say yeah

alot has gone down since i wrote last. God slapped me around a bit. in the most gentle way possible, making it all the more humiliating. He could have spit me off a rock and broken my back, or crushed me in my car. ultimately it was an affirmation of His sovereignty and preservation, which was a peace-bringing feeling. i just read a verse in ephesians that has like 7 theological implications in 12 words, and sums the whole ordeal up quite well, do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
on more vain notes. im procrastinating this heinous paper i have due next week. ugh. this will be the second weekend since the second week of march (the first time i climbed) that i haven't climbed. dats for realz. but no worries, i have climbed mon, tues, weds, and today, and will tommorow too. i work best under pressure. today i tried two B1 problems that i have never touched before, the font, which is hard and centered around my greatest weaknesses-- slopers that you cant crimp and a slippery committing mantle. then these two local kids showed me what they had been projecting recently, the johnson arete. it goes at v6, is tall, but not highball, not contrived at all, starts off steep (almost 45 degrees) then bulges out and levels off, has crimpy holds, slopey holds, sidepulls, heel hooks, a toe hook, no rest, very sustained, a five star problem, and at my limit. oh and you have to pull. at this moment, i couldn't ask for more in a boulder problem at stoney point. so that was cool, they turned on their reggae and we started to work it. rozzie, one of my friends actually sent it after only three days work, it was really cool. after about 10 strong attempts i was able to finally latch the crux hold up top but couldn't bring up my left foot high enough to weight a foothold. im anxious to send tommorow. it was a great day. i ended the night by flashing the boot, a v2+ highball. it was something i had backed down in the past, and then had resolved to not try again, i even had two friends cole and mikey try to pressure me into it, but its a v2+highball with a committing top out. mike waugh hiked it, so i got on and followed suit, he talked me through it and kept me cool, his presence makes me an exponentially stronger and smarter climber no joke. its an extremely satisfying and enjoyable feeling to flash and feel really solid on something that you have been scared shi+less of and physically unable to do in the past.
brand new- overrated. reggae- sucks to climb to. went to the sauna tonight-glorius. pita pit is my second home. i hear there is one in mammoth. definitely legitimate job option there.
