lucky fall
"You must pay a special attention when climber is gonna clip second quickdraw." A friend taught me how to belay a leading climber last year.
"If he fell at second quickdraw without clipping it, he probably will hit ground." The last weekend of July, as usual, we went climbing in Long Lane in LongDong. I was tring a route of 5.11a which was my second try in that day and I've redpointed it couples of weeks before. The crux is only at one move, you must insert your two fingers into a small hole, try to find a balance position and stand up to reach the next friendly hold.
I fell at the second quickdraw which is the most unlikely location to fall because you have a couple of huge holds there, and I hadn't clipped the second quickdraw. At the moment I yelled and thought: "it's over", I knew how serious it is: only at small height and only one protection below my feet, "I'm gonna crash the ground".
Really fortunately, just 5 or 6 cm to ground, I was stopped by my belayer, my wife, tracy. Only few grazes left on my leg, and of course, panic in my mind and other climbers there.

年底高雄開始新生活
當初在面試的時候,高鐵的面試官問我想選台北、台中或高雄作為我將來的工作地點,我選擇了高雄,有幾個原因促成我最後選了高雄:第一是天氣,北部的冬天實在濕冷不舒服,夏天也很悶熱,南部夏天雖熱,但冬天氣候溫和少雨,實在是適合我們這種喜歡戶外活動的人。第二個由攀岩的角度來想,雖然北部岩場眾多,距離龍洞近,但冬天一樣受限於濕冷天氣,不能說想爬就爬,而南部岩場選擇較少,但有新的壽山國中亞錦賽的場地,再加上2009年的世界盃也在高雄,屆時一定可能又會有新的岩場,所以我還是押高雄啦。第三是爬山,其實北部與南部的山都很不錯也各有特色,這一點算是打平,但是南部少雨,爬山的機會也就比較多啦。最後是潛水,我在蘭嶼學的潛水,去年有一次在龍洞潛了一支,就完全不想再去第二次了,能見度太差了,我想雖然高雄要去蘭嶼還是有點遠,但是距高雄較近的墾丁應該也比龍洞好很多吧。

加油的方法
油價越來越貴,提供三個加油省錢的方法:
自助加油:每公升省0.8塊,上網搜尋一下便可知道哪裡有自助加油的加油站。
以公升為單位加油:大部分國人的習慣都是加金額整數,例如機車一次就加100元,但實際上你並加不到100元,因為99.5元時就會被四捨五入成100元,聽起來只是個微小的差距,似乎沒什麼,但想想一天有多少人在中油加油,小數點後的零頭累積下來也是很可觀的,中油這麼爛的國營單位,油價一直漲,我為什麼還要給它佔便宜,所以我現在加油都先看油價是多少再決定要加幾公升,例如油價是27.1的話,我就會加四公升,一共是108.4元,四捨五入後是108元,如此我便多加了0.4元免費的油,省不了多少錢,純粹就是不爽中油而已,請大家也一起這樣加油來佔中油的便宜。
夜間加油:台灣加油以體積計價,熱漲冷縮的原理,晚上汽油的體積比較小,與白天加油比較,加同樣公升數晚上能加到比較重量比較多的油。
