Blarg

Trying to unjam my chain from my bike, I managed to get my finger crunched between chain and gear. Second thing I thought of was "Can I still climb Friday?"

The first thing was "Dear fuck, why did I put my finger there?"

Haven't seen much from LT11 recently. I like this bouldering video, though. I'm not sure if it's mostly because of the music.

I've never tried crack climbing before. It's interesting, though.

I found a traverse in my kitchen. Complete with an arête, juggy start, toe hook, heel hook, and a continuous toe edge around the entire thing. One day I’ll finish it before my mom yells at me for ruining the walls.

If you intend to climb at the same time that you diet I think this is a bad idea. You need calories going into climbing or else you're just not going to want to do anything. Your body burns around 80 calories per hour just to keep you functioning while sedentary: heart beating, brain thinking, lungs breathing. 1300 undercuts your basic need for calories by ~500 calories, which of course you can get from fat. But you're still not going to be a happy camper at all. Your body doesn't know that you're trying to get rid of fat and build muscle, all it knows is "Oh fuck, where's my next meal. Let's slow everything down and save some energy." It's not about to say "Aw yea, sweet it's famine time, let's build some muscle with all this mad energy we've got." You cut back on calories to show off muscle, not to build it. If you've got a serious 6 pack sitting under some flab, now you'll be able to see it. Doesn't mean you're stronger.

The little bit of weight lost relative to your total weight isn't going to be the defining factor in whether or not you climb better. Unless you're the avant-garde of climbing. What's going to get you to climb higher is to climb more. While you're climbing more you're burning calories and building muscle. You don't build muscle without calories and nutrients. You don't get nutrients without calories.

You said it yourself: balance your diet. Don't make a deficit.
