Another nice evening Session! My knee is holding up somewhat reasonable, and I´m slowly becoming more confident again, and remembering the movement patterns that I had already learnt. Still, it´s amazing how much strength and agility just 1.5 months of pausing degenerates 😭 .

After having had a long pause because my knee hurt so badly, I was back on the wall yesterday. I struggled a bit because I didn´t know how much the knee could take, and which kinds of movements were problematic, so I took it slow, attempting simpler routes with clearer beta, and also no routes where I´d risk a less-controlled fall from higher-up.
Despite this, it was a great long session with a good friend, and has been TREMENDOUS fun.

Even visually you can tell, left is conventional, right is ecological lots.

Small family farms with just a little coffee behind their houses drying "natural" in their front yards ...

Soul coffee in Buon ma Thout, who have their own processing facility. I had a Robusta which totally blew me away. Roasted almost 16min well into 2nd crack it had an absolute amazing sparkly acidity like dragon fruit or starfruit, with a great peach or stonefruit sweetness. I'm sold 🤩.
Now on to GreatCherry!

Later, charcoal grilled ... Everything. Bone marrow and ribs had so much charcoal aroma, and were on point 👌.

Ok for the moment this is more of a foodporn thing 😅.
Cute little newly opened neighborhood cafe, whose very nice owner I got to chat with about robust a, life, and Vietnamese foods. Great "mild specialty" drinks, very sweet and dense, yet super delicious.
She also had great tips for Com Tam in Saigon, in a small shop also loved by taxi drivers, which was very fluffy rice-wise, yet still defined, chewy and very singled-grains - and the ribs super meaty deliciously marinaded and grilled.

So what some farms, the most well-known among them probably Mr. Tois "Future Coffee Farm" are doing now, is putting experimentation and research into making fine high-scoring Robusta even better and more interesting. The details ... still elude me - but in a few days I´ll know (and have tasted) more - and will share! 🤤

The reason is that, it is generally strongly suspected that Arabica won´t withstand a lot of the climate change effects and associated pests. So ... Canephora has a lot bigger chance. "Fine Robusta" or even higher-scoring lots have only appeared in the recent time though - and while we now have very clean Robusta, its taste profile is universally "nuts, rum, raisin, chocolate", with no fruitiness or acidity, which is a bit boring to many enthusiasts.

A Thread 🧵 about Coffee, Photography (and a bit tourism): Checking out Fine&Speciality Canephora/Robusta in Vietnam. A small travellog...
I was lucky enough to have been around when one of the importers of my friends Roastery came to visit, and they had planned a trip to visit Zanya, Great Cherry and Future Coffee Farm (Mr Toi) in Vietnam -- and asked if I´d like to join. Hell yeah!
These are some of the farms that work on making robusta so great that coffee can withstand climate-change.

Ich hab' mir vorgenommen wieder öfter Photographieren zu gehen, und vor allem wenn ich nicht unbedingt glaube dass was "Gutes" bei rauskommt, trotzdem den Versuch zu unternehmen.
Soweit so gut ... in letzter Zeit klappt das, vor allem wegen eines Kumpels der gerade das Handwerkszeug lernen will, und dem sein Anfängerenthusiasmus echt ansteckend ist 😊.

Trying to mimic the cool posts @foosel does!
Had a really nice #bouldering #boulder #climbing session today, with my newly bought climbing shoes - finally grown out of rental shoes! My badly sprained ankle fortunately gave me next to no trouble, and even feels better after climbing than before!
Despite lacking good strength especially in my fingers today, I managed a few rather challenging "4"s (in gym-rating, which they say translates to FontaineBleau ~6a-6b), and failed all "5s" (FB ~6b-7a).
