The Sea and Golden Gate

Went to the beach again yesterday...before that I bought a cam and then I was all set!
Pictures will soon be uploaded. Had a great day at Pier 39 watching the sea lions again. Walked all the way to Golden Gate Bridge then...pretty damn distance...I also walked back...I was damn tired when I came back and was really hungry...I had the healthier version of fast food first (Subway) and then went to a Pier 39 place and got fried calamaris and fries...that windchill was really getting me!
Started the kids camp today, Lucas is chunky and nice, Rachel is snappy and nice as well and Lindsey is nice too, so this week is gonna be fun, even though it means that I can`t go to Castle Rock on Wednesday with Chris...which sucks...Can`t have everything!

Out!

Castle Rock Posse

It was my first time of outside climbing yesterday and it was FUCKING AWESOME! I woke up super early in the morning and headed out to Castle Rock with Chris Bloch, Austine and Wes...kick ass crew and a kick ass area even if I didn`t send anything of importance. My skin was finished from two days of intensive training at the gym but I managed to get on a lotta classics that I`ll try and finish next week...Lost Keys Traverse, The Tree Problem, The Hueco Problem...so much to do up there, hopefully they won`t close it by September like that ranger bastard indicated...I`ld be super psyched to try Eco Terrorist at the end of my holiday once I`m in shape...

One giant douche bag we laughed about so badly (what a TOOL!!!), one nice guy from Massachussets (I`m probably fucking the spelling up...), tons of mosquitoes and a cool kid sending the Tree Problem later we headed out to KFC...THE CHICKEN FRENZY WAS ON, BITCHES...

I`m not gonna do it again...after that we went to Austine`s place for a change, his parents got this really cool restaurant and we had beer, salad and fried calamares...nice!!!
Went to the movies after that...fell asleep only twice during the movie...Moon`s a pretty depressive but very good movie...

Resume: nice day, kick ass crew and a whole lotta fun...psyched for Castle Rock next week!!!
Just helped Emily with a birthday party...now it`s off to Golden Gate recreational area to get some sea breeze in...here we go...hopefully I`m not gonna get lost again like I did looking for that Fellini coffee place on Thursday...

Big up to the home crew...Mom, Dad, my bros, Verena, all my kid training group kids, Jenny, Maria, the whole Bauer family, the whole Rosenheim and High East crew...

Signing out...

San Fran/Bridges

I have officially arrived...there`s gonna be pics pretty soon, once I`ve bought a cam. So far, all that I can say is that people are super generous and kind and welcoming and...Damian and Jeffie have turned out to be amazing, so has everybody I`ve met so far.

Bridges is one hell of a place to get in shape and I`ve never seen a better bouldering gym, except for the B2 in Basel that`s like on a par.

I can`t wait to get outside and if Californians continues to be so outstandingly nice, Bishop and Yosemite are gonna be a blast. It took a while to get into this country and some really annoying questions were to be answered (why would you care where I made the money to finance my trip, I haven`t been trafficking drugs...) but it was definitely worth it...

Out for today,
Chris

Wrapping things up...

Sitting amidst the piles of dirty laundry, clean laundry, other stuff to pack and the fact that I gotta finish my English didactics paper, I`m taking a short time to post this.

Tuesday morning it`s time for take off, the next post will be from San Fran! SO SUPER PSYCHED!

Hopefully my finger will be mended by Tuesday, so that I can start climbing right away...

Out and off to California!

Pissed!

Checking the rankings in Rosenheim today, I had to realize that a lot of weak bastards had cheated their way up in the ranking! A few of them are kids I trained! None of the kids from my groups but I have replaced almost every other coach at least once so I know about peoples` level!

The whole system is one giant piece of bullshit and if people had been honest, my kids would have made the finals! One girl made it to the finals and couldn`t even stick the starting hold-that`s pathetic! It`s all the more pathetic that she keeps her place in the ranking.

I`m tired of the whole bunch, fortunately I´m gonna be out next Tuesday...

Penguin deserts boyfriend!

Funny post on an overcast day: a supposedly gay (think he`s rather bisexual) penguin has deserted his partner and moved in with a widowed female penguin. Big deal, all gay rights groups are up in arms! How could the bastard! How could that hag lure him into deserting his boyfriend!

I´m laughing! 

My kids ruled in the comp, despite the boulders being a load of crap in many cases. My kids run laps on 6bs and struggled on boulders some fat suckers could flash just because they were taller. Still, they managed more boulders than I thought. So I´m happy.

I left when they asked me to do the dirty work. Went home in the rain. I´d rather get soaked than be taken for a fool. If you split up the nice jobs between you guys, do so with the rest! The rest of the comp? The usual mix of retards, nice ones and ones I hoped to see but weren`t there. Had one civilized consversation and patted Nicola`s emo-dog Sanna. A nice guy drove me to the station when I was soaked standing in front of the supermarket in Stephanskirchen, trying to hitch a ride. No bus in Rosenheim on Saturdays, at least after noon. 

Jumped into my hot tub and managed to not catch a cold. Psyched! Today I´m gonna write the first part of the English didactics paper I owe to that bastardly bitch that teaches me. I hate her guts!

Signing out.

It`s rainin`man...

Looks like this summer is back in shape! After a brief period of sunshine, the rain came back last night and is full on right now! If you could see me, you could also see me grinning sadistically...when I came to Rosenheim yesterday in order to set boulders for the comp, I found out that all boulders had already been set. Looking at them, I realized that a lot of them was just rubbish! They have made us coaches talk our kids into participating in the comp and now they have set boulders with loads of dynos and reachy moves. I´ve been setting routes and boulders for five years now and I´m pissed of! We´ll see what happens today. I bet the construction they set up yesterday to shield the boulders outside from the rain was torn to pieces by the gusts of wind that raged yesterday evening before the thunderstorms came...

With the rain full on, the comp is gonna be a blast! 200 people will be cramped into the spot...thanks that I´m not participating!

I hope that tomorrow will be better, so that I can get some bouldering done. After the Felbertal crimping massacre, my right middle finger slightly reminded me that I´m a finger pocket and pinch person but now things are fine again...

Signing out to watch the rain pour...
