What a weekend.  The weather here in Chattanooga has been a bit bananas.  On Monday, I climbed at Rocktown wearing a big puffy and even had to put a jacket on #ivydog because she was whining in 13 degree weather.  Yesterday, I was comfortable in running shorts and a tank SUPing on the river. Lots of fun goodies this week.

Michaela Kiersch & The Gloden Ticket
This is the much anticipated short by Andy Wickstrom & JustGoClimb that I mentioned back in this post.  I love her attitude and can relate to the blocking out those tiny windows of time to climb.  And listening to her talk about the 7 hour commute to get on her project makes me grateful and humbled by what we’re surrounded with her in Chatt.  In follow up to this video, I also want to link to some super great news here.  Access to the Motherlode is secured!

At the Banff Mountain Film Festival, the future of adventure sports is female
I love this headline.  The future is indeed female.  The films will make their way through Tennessee in March – Nashville on the 15th and Knoxville on the 27th.  ATLiens can check ’em out at the REI downtown on March 18th and 19th.

ReVive Massage by Virginia Lee
And finally this week, I have to put in a plug for my good friend and massage therapist, Virginia Lee.  I’m a firm believer in surrounding yourself with a good team of body workers and Virginia is top notch working with many of the highest trained athletes and teams here in Chattanooga.  She is only taking female clients at this time and is located in the Southern Saddlery building.

That does it for this week – I hope you all find ways to stay dry this week!  Keep crushing!

Ivy – midwhine about the temps.
