And the torch is being passed

Great now I feel old, and I still can't climb a 14b! Thanks Sage! hahaha

wow. 

Pretty incredible.  Back in the day, I could lead easy 5.11 (when I was having a good day).  I can't even imagine what 5.14 feels like.

a young woman from our area is a pretty amazing climber.  became the first woman to do 5.14d routes this year.  She's a venerable 19 years old.

Sasha is my daughter's favorite.  I guess she's a better role model than Snooki.

bells rang and fireworks exploded as i saw the words "role model" and "Snooki" in the same sentence.
