That was the best comp I've ever been to. Many thanks to the Hoosier Heights crew for putting up such awesome and challenging problems. Apparently the topouts there are painfully hilarious.

Nice photos Wes. If only my fingers were 1 inch longer on that blue problem. I want to go back and finish it. Very fun problems indeed. We particularly liked it that the problems were so diverse and that they were not rated (the point values were written on the scorecards instead of the wall and that made it even more fun).

Rob is such an excellent spotter and yet I later punched him hard in the mouth when I unexpectedly came flying off of a problem sideways. Sorry about that my friend. I've accidentally hurled broken holds on him outside too. Fortunately he is one tough guy.

Awesome photos as always!

Thanks much. This was my first indoor comp ever, and the lighting was tricky. I was totally surpised at how well they turned out. I didn't even run them through photoshop. The new flash + defuser really works like magic!

If you all have a couple that you like, let me know, and I will re-touch them a bit and put them on my smugmug site for you. And, if anyone that was at the comp (that I don't know), and I got photo of them, just PM me and I can do the same.

Thanks again.

Wes
