i have an insane amount of catching up to do. Not all that much climbing, but some cool experiences nonetheless. And some climbing. Things have been a lil weird since moving to alaska. It's very far away from everything. Everything. It's difficult to find motivation in a place like that. The gym is ok at best, but the people are psyched. That helps some. Still, it isn't like it was back in NC. And the season is short. i'm in Nevada at the moment and ak will be trashed with snow by the time i get back. Nevada is quite nice at the moment. Hot for climbing, but a welcome change from the damp chill of anchorage. i've been super busy with work, but today was a welcome reprieve. i've been controlling f-15's all week, but they cancelled their sortie today. So i got to climb. It was quite dope, but i didn't have a crash pad.
That's ok though, the dinner of champions prepared me well for the coming day
i did a cool v7 called Bubble Butt and then went to try monkey bar direct.
One fall on that thing and my elbow smashed a rock pretty good. i decided to wait for someone else to come along and try it so i could bum some pads. It didn't take long before 6 or 7 people showed up (with pads). Feeling much more comfortable, I sent in 2 more goes. Managed to flash a couple of variations in the boulder too. Oh, and Alex Johnson and Kati Peters were there (Kati Peters is a total babe btw..). And i've got a crazy long day ahead, and posting from a phone is crap. i promise i'll catch up at come point. Peace..
