This weekend was the Heart of Steel comp, which was pretty overpriced and crowded. The consensus was that the organizers put a lot of effort into promoting the comp and not enough into setting/organization – all the subsequent problems (I can give you a complete list…) seemed to stem from that.
The finals were more tricksy than satisfying, but people seemed to like watching them. I was trying to see if anyone was going to lose a finger or a head to the stupid power crystal. Zeb climbed in a “prefinal superfinal,” which he lost by public opinion (everyone said “aww” when he fell off), but which he actually tied on by standard bouldering competition “control is what matters” rules. Public opinion won and he didn’t climb in finals.
In other, unrelated news, the wedding invitations are now in sealed, addressed envelopes. They just need dragging to the post office. So, if you don’t get yours within the next week or two, quiz me because it might have gotten lost in the mail.
