The loud prancing boisterous one at the front acting like a “macho” tool. It’s the quiet one making sure that all members of the party are present, and accounted for. Keeping the other members from falling behind, or falling away from the group. Hm. Wonder why that interpretation didn’t take off? No glory in stoicism, or it doesn’t feel as macho to watch out for others, and take up the rear guard I guess. Less notoriety to be the last one in, last one out. Young bloods want to lead and be exciting, but real leadership, comes from care, observation, slow and determined actions that lift everybody up. Not first come first served, bared teeth, and too much snarling. That’s all performative, and not a value add quality. What an interesting turn of events. Might have to read up on that a bit more. Myths of the alpha wolf. The lone big guy clawing his way to the top. And not, say, the leading breeding pair and their family whom take care of the youngest first, and foremost. Crazy.
Tried to stay up and watch SNL last night, but I just couldn’t do it. Whether it was because I was tired from climbing earlier that afternoon, or the skits just weren’t hitting on all cylinders, or whatever. I called it quits by midnight, and was soundly asleep about twenty minutes later.had a good run at the autobelay climbing though. I tried mostly 5.6, 5.7, and a few 5.8’s. Oddly enough I could do the .8’s more often than the .7’s. Maybe I was cheating, but somehow I put my hand on more top holds in the higher rated routes than the mid tier ones. I’m definitely not technically proficient as a climber. I would love to find an entry level/novice group whom could teach-show me some manoeuvres for getting up around certain obstacles or layouts on the wall. My guess is, is that I should work privately 9n grip strength, core strength, and flexibility so that I can hang, and place my feet more easily when climbing. Losing weight would help my arms, and hanging ability by not putting as.much stress on my arms, shoulders, and hands. Not that I want to start running. Though I had a good stretch of time on an elliptical in August. I was putting up some solid step counts, and calorie burn numbers if I recall. At least for me it felt that way. Very consistent.
