I leave for the three days in the Sierras on this coming Friday morning. Albert Bierstadt paintings (click to enlarge) were my inspiration this week as I tried to re-tune the body from Chamonix. The weekly totals: 8 short pitches (two on the sharp end), a bouldering session, two bits of yoga, and six short aerobic sessions. Just enough to get rid of the cobwebs that have grown up in the last several weeks.
