≈1½ hrs at the climbing gym. Mostly 5.9 and 5.10 routes. Banged through at least one 5.11-; that was a bit of a shocker.

25 minutes on the treadmill; back to barefoot.  Feels more natural, or at least more comfortable. Treadmill says I burned 321 calories. 1.84 miles; pace was 4.42 mi/hr.

≈1½ hrs at the climbing gym.  Mostly 5.9 and 5.10 routes.  Climbed a few that were wicked slopers.  Took more than few falls.  Embarrassingly many early in the evening.  Felt good though.
