I didn't realize what a mistake I made going to Red Rocks until I got back. I had so much fun there, that I now have no interest in climbing back here. I am trying to work up some enthusiasm for climbing the "vertical kitty litter" that is Red Wing. Or the soaring towering low cliffs of Taylors Falls. But I am struggling to do it. I keep checking the weather in the Black Hills (the weather there last week was perfect for climbing, BTW.) But I am not going to the Black Hills until mid-June. I keep thinking of the climb I did in Yosemite last year but I am not there now and currently have no plans to go back there.
So help me get motivated. Tell me what you do. (I think I know all the recommended ways of motivating myself. Such as, "bloom where you're planted." And, have a goal and make a plan to achieve it. And - maybe this is the best one for me now - commit to scheduling climbing with others. )
What else do you recommend? (I know one thing you'll tell me: stop using terms like "vertical kitty litter." OK,and then what?)

Test three
Errr..... Test 4? I have to start working again on April 1st, but would def be up for a short trip to the Hills before then, i.e. one, two, three days max, hit up Waves, Lander Turkey Shoot,Gossamer, Spire Two, Spire Four, then get back home before the thunder clouds roll in. I guess this time of the year it all depends on the weather. My weekends are booked, but if anyone wants to make a weekday trip I am certainly up for it. I can drive. I figure the Black Hills are about 10 hours away from here, we could probably make it in 6.
Or, any of the local crags would be just fine too....
