🔥 climbing in a heat wave 🔥

WOW it's August and the temps are... ripe for sending!
I hope everyone is doing alright right now! Fun story – I use some music in this video from a band called Jurassic Shark, which is now broken up :~( I saw their last live show a little over a year ago and recall it very fondly.
I've attached a lil note at the bottom of this description if u'd like to read!

Letter to a friend (you!)
Hi friend,
It's been around a month since I last posted – even after I said I would upload more regularly! That's a big yikes for me. I've been having mental blocks with the content I create and my perfectionism is a huge impediment to getting anything done! I think it's more difficult to find inspiration when I'm by myself at my wall vs climbing at a gym with such great setters! I had imagined 2020 to have so many opportunities for the channel; I quit my job before the pandemic started and had money saved up to travel and make all kinds of climbing content... but! Thinking about how privileged I am to even have a roof over my head right now (let alone my own climbing wall) makes me so upset with myself for my self-pity in the first place.
I'm in the process of moving from Los Angeles to San Francisco (I'm going to join the UCSF Neuroscience PhD program in September) and that's a whole different stressor on its own! I'm touring an apartment tomorrow close to a climbing gym that I'll hopefully be able to frequent often when it's safe to do so :~)
Are you doing okay? How is life treating you? I sincerely hope you're doing well, taking care of yourself, and finding moments of rest. Sending you my love!

later,

J
