"low on ice cream vitamins"

[@themindgame14]

I really feel this. Was on a really strict diet through lent this year, and right before easter I went on a date and got ice cream. I ate both mine and finished my dates. The next day I went climbing expecting to feel heavy and and weak and instead had one of the best days of my life. Ice cream gains.

I was on Intersection Rock in JT when Peter came soloing up North Overhang. It was my first day climbing and soloing didn’t compute. I Asked, “isn’t that scary?” Peter Croft told me, “If you’re scared, that’s a good way to get killed” I had no idea that I was talking to a legend.

Love this guy!

[@shreshthmohan]

“Don’t be too neurotic about your diet” Just climb really hard like Croft.

[@dakiblabla]

I'm having ice cream right now! Thank you Peter.

Ice cream vitamins... if Peter Croft says its a thing... then its a thing

[@randydewees7338]

Peter definitely pets the sweaty stuff. I used to ultra run, and many times at an aid station deep in a run I'd drink half a dixie cup of Mountain Dew or Coke. For the next couple of miles I'd feel pretty good before dropping back into the ultra zone. I had this idea about just jogging along with a 2 liter bottle of ice cold soda in my running pack instead of all the elaborate (and expensive) energy junk we used. I never tried that, kind of regret it.

Excited for this

[@addsy6396]

I might share this with my PT…

An old nor-cal hippie once told me some words I try to live by.... "everything in moderation - including moderation"!

[@climbsnowboardtravelrepeat]

Peter rules.

[@matster77]

Haha nice, seems like a solid dose of sugar worked wonders. (Can’t go wrong with high carbs, including lots of sugar, if you’re super active)

[@jamescampbell2521]

Legend. The Chuck Norris of climbing.

[@surflasal]

brb gonna go eat half a pint of ice cream and freesolo Astroman

[@dakiblabla]

It's a solid last meal to be sure.

[@Mylada]

Yah The dude was on ultra strict diet barely surviving, probably something adjacent to eating disorder. Then he finally gave his body calories and ofc it feels good

[@markm2178]

watching this made me really crave ice cream

[@shawntronclimbing]

I try to eat ice cream as much as possible after this story.

[@libertine5606]

I am going to say it. National Treasure.

[@WillTheFrozen]

sugar is actually the best post workout. I'm never sore. fuck protein.

[@robinc.6791]

Yeah i totally down a tub of ice cream for performance too 😅😅😅

[@sebadelacruz7319]

Lipids + sugar are the real petrol for body' s energy. Old fashion.
