A Day @ Safra Yishun
A gaston crimp to a undercling while compressing hard against sloppy feature to be almost full span horizontally, a hand jam into the feature crack just to hold off flesh pump from getting into position for the next move- Those are moves you get when adrenalin is rushing through your veins from a full day of climbing on the 25m wall,15m wall and the teh bin challenge crack.
In the company of hobo GS boy Sammy, crack loving rich boy Jem & the lobster red dont use legs strength hero bear Xiao Bai, the day at Yishun proves to be an intriguing one.
First up, the luminous yellow on the 25m wall confuses non-positive ape index Yb with tensiony outside flag from crimp to crimp with uber big moves followed by yet again, crimpy and balancy moves on top. The mystical luminous tile surprised Yb as yet again he was cheated by far far away Mellie that it is legendarily slippy- it is not.
Nice route after nice route, Sammy my boy whacked hard with Yb to reach the teh bin challenge crack. And thus challenged by rich boy Jem who will buy all the teh bin in the world for the winner, all four challengers went up. And damn weird crack climbing is, laying back on one side all the way up to get unbalancely pumped in the right bicep. Feeling weird and overcrowded, Sammy and Yb moved to the 15m wall where the sun gently shined it love on them.
Apparently the sun disliked rich kids and hated bears -Same as poor Kory which the sun hated- as it burnt them to delicious red. By then, all was almost lost as Jem went on for his supposed last climb on the left most blue where he regained his long lost dynamic self to become superhero Tangs.
Lobster bear's last climb, had his 2009 Yangshuo-self possessed him to produce weird sounds and even weirder self talk while half way through the climb, almost distracting Yb on the neighboring steep wall. "Step step step" self talk became "slack slack slack" communication as it entered the superhero Tangs ear. Skipping clip every alternate hanger while laughing at the bearish self talk, Yb managed to send the stupid route which he should have onsighted.
And Sammy my boy, under the love of the far far away Mellie and the pressure to retrieve her draws decided to not send it for the day as there will be no climbing shops to exchange draws on the wall for new ocun draws.
The day of massive overcrowding at yishun together with sweat, cursing and swearing at long people when it's not their fault, and teh bin turning into almond soy milk ended with a sentence from Sammy my boy
"Climbing is really the best way to spend my time, i really derive the most utility out of it"
and questions from Yb,
"If climbing gives you the most utility, then why dont you climb more?"
Well, life's simple, although human are not rational creatures as assumed by economics that they will seek to maximize their utilities, let's not think too much. Let your climbing philosophy guide you as you have fun climbing whether you're climbing hard or just enjoying your climbs while looking to improve. What's important i guess will be the new year resolution to be happy and do the things that make you happy.
