Since I had a number of spectacularly good climbing sessions in October, the law of averages probably meant that I was due for a crummy one, especially after having taken a few weeks off. I showed up at the climbing gym last night, but my strength and stamina mostly didn't. I completely failed to get more than the first few holds on a 5.8, climbed a 5.6 handily, struggled partway up a couple of 5.7's, and finally decided to call it a night when I was repeatedly defeated by what should have been an easy move on a 5.5.

Despite my distinctly subpar performance, it was fun to get back on the climbing wall and see folks. I'll try again next week, hopefully when I'm a bit better rested.
