Climbing evening.


Excellent training - started with warming traverses, then continued with simple on-sight traces coupled and thirded together. Eventually I moved to very interesting, although already quite old traces - there were a lot of people, so there were no easy way to select a trace.
End of the trainig was a culmination - there is complex enough trace on the serious negative slope in the climbing zone, which had a set of holds, which are supposed to be used via jump between them. Dynamic jump is not that big, but on negative slope it becomes a problem, so I ended up fixing a rope above the place and jumped wildly screaming (likely I said to myself, that I need to fly to given hold no matter how, in some strange language known only to me and my alter-me). Eventually I completed that place, which now contain an additional hold, since no one wanted to jump there.
Excellent finish of the absolutely stupid day.

British embassy.


I spent more than a hour in a queue in the embassy and during that time only two people moved forward. I had a choice: either wait there until another 70 people will finish, or take a dinner. I think choice is obvious, so tomorrow I will move there again, this time early morning.
