power up!
December 1st, 2007 Stephen Lau
just came back from the great western power company, the new climbing gym that just opened (last week!) in downtown Oakland.
man, it felt great. i haven’t really really climbed in a few years now, so it felt great to just go there for a couple of hours, and boulder by myself. the gym staff were friendly, the other solo boulderers offered good spots and even better advice, and i had a fun time despite not completing the V1 i swore i would do today. (just couldn’t match my hands on the last hold, and came tumbling down everytime). but i was able to do one V1, for what little that’s worth.
my hands are all dried and scuffed, i’ve got scabs on both my knees, and my arms are pumped beyond belief.
i bought a membership.
