Today’s session was much like Tuesday’s. I got up and climbed first thing in the morning while it was still cool. Obviously no caffeine or anything else in my system yet.

Things I improved upon:

• I did not fall. and had a small number of foot slips.
• I got a higher total elevation for the session. by 2 whole feet. :P

Other thoughts: For tomorrow, I want to also climb in the morning. but I want to focus on two things:

• I want to work towards zero foot slips any time I’m climbing. This may mean active foot placement, body tension, keeping the mind from wandering, and whatever else I can find that helps.
• I want to focus on deep active breathing the whole session.

Some engineering notes: today I ran the usb analyzer and recorded serial communications for the session (see link below). part of me is wondering - I sure do have a long serial cable, I wonder if the analyzer may act as an active repeater while recording to improve signal quality?

maybe just superstition… but I do wonder.

total elevation climbed was: 223.6 feet in 20 mins.
