Ox Fall Down

Scan this past Friday. Woke up at 05:00 for an 08:00 departure. Good thing because the alarm was set for seven PM. Scan went well. CT tech bought his apartment in the South End in 1985. He laughed when I asked if it was a good investment.

Port flushed and drew like a champ. To avoid clotting I should have it cleaned every month. This time I waited two. Not out of negligence. Just in the spirit of Kramer and the Saab salesman. Pushing the limit for the sport of it. Relieved to see the red blood mix with saline in the line.

Climbed White Horse with Pete and Jen on Wednesday. Sunny and 70. We simul-climbed the first 4 or 500 feet. Stopped and belayed the middle crux pitch before dashing the final 400' to the top. Roped but no gear, laughing at our thighs burning.

Climbed Cathedral with Alessia yesterday. Cloudy and 60. Run out slab for 30 feet. Cathedral is ledgey. Take one step up and you're three feet off the ground. Take one step right and you're twenty-five feet off the ground. Without hand holds. Whimper up 30 feet, gain the ramp and exhale. After that it's 80 feet of wandering hand crack to the anchor. Fun to be on your hands after the blank slab.

Meetings with Yoon and Delaney tomorrow. Nervous?
