Check List for Worthwhileness

We had Monday off from work - and there is nothing I love more than a Monday holiday. A perfect day for some climbing outside (it's been months) at Stoney Point.Making a 1/2 day trek to LA's urban outdoor rock gym is right in line with my adventuring for 2015.It requires some planning, getting up early on a day off, packing a bit, and the whole hustle it takes to actually get going. Then, once you're there, you scout around for the routes, re-route your plan if other people are already there, discuss anchor points, look at maps, stand in the hot sun and set anchors (this part mostly done by H), and then finally - almost 2 hrs after you left the house - you're ready to climb.And climbing is a metaphor for life itself, but we don't need to go into it right now. Instead, what I want to point out is, all of the above is hurdle enough to keep people (and by "people", I mean me) from doing anything interesting with their time.So a day like this is really just a check-list for embarking on anything worthwhile:Plan a bitPack a bitInvite someone cool to travel withStare at maps someScout a bitRoute + re-route as neededTie in / buckle up / walk off the cliff (whatever, you get it)... and enjoy it
