I guess I was responding more to this merrick

"man the mushroom boulder is the worst one in Hueco. Just cause Verm says it's the best does not make it the best. "

I don't think there is the best or worst of anything and I definitely don't consider Verm a source of good information. My opinion was based on personal experience and I think some of the problems on the boulder stack up well with anywhere else I've been (a list similar to yours but add more areas in the West and remove all the south areas--can't get past the RRG baby!)

The only reason I mentioned Box is that it's winter time and it's near the interstate with a few good problems and rather easy to find. The streambed traverse was rad imo-. , Datil's definitely the place to go in New Mex but not in wintertime more like late spring.

So, life is still kicking down here. Having fun doing the PURE CLIMBING thing in the sun two days on one day off.

It hasn't been very crowded and I have had no problem getting onto North since I got here. But, I guess that will all change in a few days once the after X-mas crowd arrives. But, I can start doing some tours then I guess.

My mouth is watering, Wes. At least one of the RRG group gets to climb wearing less than 3 layers...

Ha!! I am wearing SHORTS right now.

It is sunny and nice, and today is a rest day. Life is good. To bad you were blinded by Loron and his bling-bling, or you could be here right now, tan and getting strong.

Plus, there are a bunch of SE climbers here.

wes isn't the only one. i was climbing in my t-shirt down in moe's valley. but i went skiing today, so it will be a few more days before i head back to shorts weather again.

Weather and bouldering are still kicking ass, but it might only be mid-40's Sunday, so no shorts, but still kick ass bouldering.

Sandy, I have a nice list of problems for you.

I think the Ho should be here today or tomorrow, along with other memebers of team Southeast. Bourbon and Ale-8 in Texas, OH YEAH!

Is Roger still coming with them? When are you going to get here? Weather looks like it will be back to the normal kick-assness by Tuesday.
