So my membership at Cole Valley Fitness expired a little while ago and since my situation has changed since the last time I made the decision, I had the opportunity to reevaluate my options. I went with a climbing gym that’s down in the mission (kind of in between where I work and where I live). So far it’s a lot of fun. It’s basically about 10x better than what I had before, for the same price. Check it out: Mission Cliffs.

I tend to stick to the bouldering — I like short-bursts-of-”excellence” over the endurance required for sport climbing (is that even what it’s called). I suck compared to virtually everyone there but it’s definitely tons of fun.

Finally, if you ever used to use allofmp3.com, I suggest you check out mp3sparks.com. Basically it’s an “invite only” version of the same exact thing before they were cut off… TOTALLY SWEET!
