Well, besides Heidi, the cross-eyed opossum, not much has happened since that last post that can actually be summarized as entirely positive! Right after my last post, my girl got ill...like I-got-the-flu-ill and we didn´t see each other for a week. Stupid thing, especially with the weather being nice and all. I however got to go to Berchtesgaden for some bouldering which was mainly fun because of the crew involved and not so much due to amazing problems...we got to climb. Case closed. It´s not worth the distance. Sent a V 4, worked a V 7ish travese and a V 9ish roof and found out that after a winter of padded gym bouldering I have to get my head round to falling on pads again...

As soon as my girl had recovered, we saw each other once, contemplated a Zillertal bouldering trip for about 2 hours until Anna all of a sudden panicked thinking of some tests at school comin´ up. Trip canceled, girlfriend departs direction home, desk and books...I departed direction Zellerwand for some sunny cragging! The day turned out to be my last day of climbing for a bit since the following Wednesday, after getting finally enrolled for all of my exams, oral and written, the flu obviously thought it was time to deal a blow of divine justice to me (who had always thought it witty to remark "Oink, Oink" on friends´ fb statuses complaining about being down with pig influnenza).

Saw my doc yesterday! He says I´m about to be cured...that´s what I feel like to, it´s nice to have my feelings and professional judgement conforming with each other...

Winter has returned in full effect with about a foot of snow dump since yesterday morning and the weekened will either bring skiing, climbing or both.

2011, here we go!

Not much has happened on the blogging front as of late...I´m busy wrapping up my studies, climb and train as much as possible so that I´ll be in shape on time for my Cali trip in July and, yes, there is finally a girl;) Yes, I´m no longer single! Anna is a sweet person, full of energy and a little bit of a tease which makes her, um, well, amazing! She hikes, climbs and snowboards! I´m very happy!
Sounds as if I´m living the good life right now...which is true...I do! Now there´s a catch with nearly everything in this world, in my case that´s obviously the enormous ammount of reading I´ll have to cope with. I should have read more, actually a lot more up to Christmas but somehow I need a deadline being threateningly close to shift into high gear. Well, we´ll see...the deadline definately is threateningly close now...
Something I have recently been super psyched about is the fact that my bro redid our old woody back at home...more moves, more pump, more power! It seems as if my woody clean up and decoration job did provide a much needed motivation boost! I took some old posters of him crushing and decorated the walls with them to remind him of his past glory...it seems as if it did the trick.
I spent Christmas at home, ate tons of amazing food, didn´t put on much, skied with my dad who then came to visit and had a lot of fun!
2010 ended promising and actually turned out a wholly positive year. Hopefully 2011 will continue along those lines...hopefully a warm system is gonna move through on Saturday, making some outdoor climbing possible...we got Anna new climbing shoes and those need a proper real rock break in session!
Take care,
Peace
