Climbing woes

So, we don't have a climbing gym here in Steamboat. Therefore, every chance we get to go to Denver, we hit up the Rock 'n and Jam 'n gym in Thornton. This past Sunday I think we might have gotten a little out of control... staying there for almost 5 hours of straight climbing. I have ripped skin on my fingers, blisters that are just waiting to inflict pain later and my back and arms are so sore that it is difficult to be typing this right now.

But it was so worth it. I climbed my first 5.10, sending the first one I tried and then finishing a grueling overhung 5.10 that I definitely didn't send, but I finished it! Now I am so excited to go back whenever I get a chance. Oh, if we could just open up that climbing gym here in town that we've been dreaming about...

Trying out blogspot for a while

Maybe I'll just have a blog on every blog hosting site on the internet... or maybe I just am running out of things to use for procrastination purposes.  Either way, the world of smallakin just got a little bit bigger.

For those of you that are just browsing and don't know me personally, I currently work as a supervisor in the ski school ticket office at the resort in Steamboat Springs, CO.  In my off-time, I snowboard as much as possible, write for Shred Betties Seshn and design for my clothing line, Akinz.

I like to chat about what's going on in my life, stuff that I'm digging, and gear I'm dying to buy online and end up talking about it to satisfy the urge instead of pulling out a credit card.
