5.9s? I hadn't even tackled those when my arms were blown last time...they got fried on the 'warm-up' routes - ones that I was rainbow climbing to boot.

I only made it in that one time, and then haven't been in much to workout. Yesterday I thanked my lucky stars for stronger than average forearm strength (I think): I had a plasma TV delivered and the delivery guy and me hosted this large 220 lb. box of the back of the semi, and carried it up and into the house. I damn near dropped it (that would have sucked) because my finger strength was about to give out (the box was so large, that was about all I could get around the bottom. Today it feels as though I was climbing yesterday (maximal effort for a short period of time, it would be called [img]smile.gif[/img] ). But the bad part...I sprained my index finger at the middle joint, or pulled a tendon there. The pain woke me up a few times at night. So I'm not going to be able to climb for another week or two.
