A good climbing day

Despite some delayed muscle soreness from the house project, I managed a bunch of climbs today. I did: a 5.6 warm-up, a 5.8, a 5.10-, a 5.8, a 5.9, and the 5.6 again when I was totally pumped and falling off the wall. We climbed for about 2 hours, and it felt really good. I had to do several takes on the 5.9 and 5.10-, but feel really good that I got to the top. They were both tricky and required a lot of technique and balancing. I feel like I am definitely getting to be a better climber, and like my core strength is really improving as well as my arm strength. The fact that I set up a slack-rope in my back yard may be helping with the core strength. Now if I can just get myself going to fighter practice more regularly I will be totally set. Sadly I was still working last night so didn't make it to practice.

Haus Graneshavene, Coronation

For those of you who don't know, I have an SCA household. It is Haus Graneshavene, aka House Greyhaven. It was started back in 1996 (I think) by foxen, p1kap1ka, nobu, myself, and several others, some of whom were junior members of Clan Hubert. Additional members  include glasseye, ursule, and in non-lj land various other peeps like Katherine and James who sometimes hang with us.  When john75half comes to events, she usually camps with us too.

At any rate, we will have a camp at coronation. We will have our huge red pavilion up, and will be in the area of period camping closest to gate, so should be easy to find if you want to visit. Our space reservation is marked as "Granes" on the site map. I will hopefully be getting to site early-ish so will have plenty of time to visit and attend reginleif5 's vigil on Friday night. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
