"Balancing Bouldering and Business: A Morning at Mesa Rim"

Jan 17, 2024 - 8:46amSummary: I had a 45-minute bouldering session at Mesa Rim, which started with a 20-minute warm-up and involved successfully flashing what seemed to be a soft V4 in the gym's cave area. Although there were harder V1s and V3s in the gym, flashing the V4 made me wonder if it might suit my climbing style or if the grading was too lenient. My morning's plan after climbing included writing, reading, meditating, finishing taxes, and reviewing last week's work to assess progress and learning. I'm considering how to document this process, potentially reaching out to a contact named Chris for further discussion.

Transcript: I climbed this morning at Mesa Rim, it was like a 45 minute session, pretty chill, took like 20 minutes to get warmed up, felt good after that, and went into the cave kind of area to boulder, and I mean flashed a V4, which was nice, but it was probably a pretty soft V4, I mean I don't think I can flash a V4 especially given how much I've been climbing, and especially given that there was like V1s that were pretty hard in the gym, so, and even V3s that I found harder, so, but it felt good, and maybe it's like I'm suited towards that kind of climbing, or maybe that particular climb, also another guy appeared to flash it, so it's like, yeah, I think it's probably a bit easier than it was stated for, but yeah, ended up climbing for about 45 minutes, that was my goal, I got there at 7, and I left at 7.45, and yeah, it was a nice little start to the day, I guess now I'm gonna write for a few minutes, and then probably read for a few minutes, probably meditate for 15 minutes, I do need to do taxes today, or finish what I started with my taxes, and I also need to begin going through what I did this last week, I think that's pretty critical, and yeah, I certainly need to do that, to kind of see where we're at, what we learned, what we built, and some of it exploring possibility space, so, we'll see how that exploration goes, maybe it's one really long document, maybe it gets split into a few, I'm a bit unsure still, but we're gonna start making progress on that I think today, and maybe sending a message to Chris, we'll see what's up.

I went bouldering at Mira Mesa yesterday but faced an unexpected crowd due to school dismissal, making it difficult to park near my house for 20 minutes. Although I found the climbing only mediocre, feeling not as strong as usual, the climbs at Mira Mesa are harder compared to Mission Valley, which is beneficial for practice. Today, which is Tuesday, I'm planning to climb with Kyle, and we'll decide what to do next from there. Today's climbing session with Kyle is still tentative, but I'm looking forward to it as part of my routine.

I reunited with Patrick at the climbing gym after a month apart, which provided a good opportunity to catch up and climb together. I enjoyed leading a few routes without pushing my limits, finding the moderate workout satisfying and noting the climb was not too challenging. I successfully tackled cracks and a route rated 11A or 11B, which reassured me of my climbing skills, contrasting with the less meaningful satisfaction I get from bouldering. Overall, the session was a moderate effort that was enjoyable, particularly because it allowed me to spend time with Patrick again.
