Added two books to my library today: Bansky: Wall and Piece and Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills. The former came from the excellent Park Life on Clement. Also picked up some new threads.

Banksy is genius, the mountaineering book is effectively the bible, in its 7th edition. One will go on the coffee table (if I had one), and the other bedside.

Watching a couple episodes of 24 followed by The Lost Boys is just weird.

The other day I was able to complete a pretty good set of V2 problems, and get fairly far on a couple V3s. My arms are getting stronger—and more importantly, I’m trusting my feet. Climbing seems to be as much, if not more about your head than your muscles.
