ROCK CLIMBING: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
Write what you know? I guess. There was a very brief window that I went rock climbing. I liked it more for the puzzle solving aspect (“so if I hold on here, maybe I can stretch my leg to go there which will boost me up to over there“) than for the exercise, although that was fine too. What I didn’t like about it was that almost all the climbs were named something truly idiotic like Chiba Buzz, or Matt’s Got The Munchies. Ugh. Oh yeah, and at the time I was doing it, I was waking up at the then ungodly hour of 7:30 in the morning. Little did I know that I would later have a kid, and daughters are unforgiving and will wake up in the fives if they feel like it. Good times. Good times. Anyway, fun little puzzle that sometimes plays like a themeless as it’s got only 72 words. Enjoy.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Knew the theme instantly from the title and was worried it would be about bands I’ve never heard of. It turned out easier than average. Special thanks for the 16A clue.
Not into rock climbing, but loved the movie MERU. It made me really, really glad not to be into rock climbing.
Fun puzzle…A quibble, though: 31D is not served on a stick, though a stick could be involved in creating it. Cheers!
In re 25A: That would be “medium shelf”. If we ever meet, I’ll show you several top shelf versions.
