Had time to lead Blister and do the route 2 to the left. I was really surprised to see how little traffic has been up there.

I loved Skin Flute Artsay. Good luck sending next weekend.

Holly shit I loved The Gift(long wall) this weekend. You should check it out if you haven't already.

I was at the red for the entire week, last week. Sent "Golden Touch" at the Motherload. I was psyched! Took about 10 tries but hey, it went and it was fun.

Matt, congrats on that send! Wasn't the Buckeye Buttress a bit hot this weekend though? That place becomes a pure oven when temps get above 50.

Thanks Sik. Well, that's funny that you mention the sun.....hell yeah it was really hot! The trick was to wait until the shade from that one tall tree over at the buckey buttress, fell on the line. Once it was on the line, I had about 10 minutes before it was frying again so I made the most of it.....Great weather though, we were lucky.

Wow, talk about pressure! I will have to remember that when I try Buff the Wood again though. I know that early in the morning it isn't bad and I have also heard that if you wait until late afternoon/early evening the sun doesn't hit it.

Sorry, John! Hope you are on the mend!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

I've gotta give some mad props to my girl Artsay for sending her hardest routes to date this week.

Skin Flute, Brontosaurus, and the pink problem at the gym.

That's one well rounded chiquita bananna!
