Last Saturday I decided to start climbing again. It had been about three weeks since I last climbed. My plan was to wait until after the Super Bowl to start climbing again, but I figured that starting up a few days early wouldn't make much of a difference. Nikki myself and a few of our friends headed into the flatirons. As we make our way to the satellites I was unsure of how my first day would be. I just wanted to scratch up my tips and get ready to train again. As I warmed up on the savage rock that makes up the flatirons I didn't have much expectations for the day. Our first stop was The Turning Point.

This has got to be one of Boulders most photographed boulder problems. I had never tried it and thought it would be a good one to try my first day back. And after a few goes I sketched my way to the top.

After we climbed on the the iconic Turning Point. I rallied the pads down to Flesh Fest. With absolutely no expectations other that just wanting to scratch my tips up some more, I started working out the moves. I was having fun figuring out the technical bottom and figured I could put it all together. And after a few tries I totally surprised myself by climbing to the top. What a great first day back!
