Wow, thanks. I have just been doing day trips down there for the most part. I teach on Saturdays so that knocks me out a little bit. Last weekend, I went to the Red after class on Sat. then drove on down to Chattanooga once it got dark. We went into Little River Canyon. That place is awesome! Unfortunately I teach on Sat. next semester too, but I have Mondays and Wednesdays off.

Sand inhibits the production of toughtosterone, so get it out and send.

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy

Matt, great send. I had the pleasure of visiting this crag with Matt & Amy just after it was bolted & was still being cleaned. We TR'ed it after doing Cheaper Than A Movie. Really enjoyed the crux section that is definitely technical. The rest of the climb after the crux up to the anchors stays with you and is fun. CTAM is also a truly classic, moderate trad line.

The route that Matt and I bolted is Hot Drama Teacher and it got finished up and FAed today. And we are calling it 5.11a now but are curious for others input. It has it all, a mantle, a crux roof crack bulge, fun easy plate pulling, small crimps, and a rad finger eating pocket right at the top.

Thanks to Matt for the bolting instructions. (and to Terry for just talking alot alot alot over the last few years about what makes a good bolting job good - macro features, micro features, clipping postion and hold, where the quickdraw hangs, fall potential, etc)

I also have to give Matt props for Bessy. That is a super fun technical slab climb!!! I actually got pumped on the slab and took a pretty big fall on it on my first go. gotta always be looking for feet. It seemed really solid for the grade to me. Might even call it harder if you are short.
