back to the berkeley gym. could have stayed at work again. decided i wanted to be around people. be seen. upon arrival at the gym they stopped me to switch my homebase gym to berkeley from san francisco. mission cliffs is a pain to get to after work. no biggie

climbed. man, i got so close to completing that v4 i was working on the other day. one-and-a-half moves from the end. a cross-over right hand pulled me off the wall every time. i need another inch or two of reach or height to get a clean move. tall people often have an advantage in climbing. but then it's called "reaching." true story
