What a year so far...

I don't know about you'all but 2004 has kicked som serious ass for me...

I have already been on 6 bouldering trips with some of the coolest kids around!

Two weekends in Rocktown,
One weekend in Rumbling Bald,
One weekend at Little Rock City/Lilly Boulders,
One weekend at Horse Pens 40(also spent a weekend there in december),
and last weekend at Grandmother, NC...

I have never been stronger and more excited about climbing. I have done things in bouldering that just a couple of months ago I would have never thought possible for me.

I have to thank Team Bessie (Climbhigh, Charlie, Wes and Amy (Mrs. Climbhigh) for all the incredible times we have had and all the ones to come.

And if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a Boulderer4Lyfe!

Great year so far for sure. Big thanks to the Climbhigh's for driving most of those weekends. Let's just hope it don't start raining too hard this spring.

Looks like it's about time to start playing with squeezers and those long strings soon though.

I don't think you are supposed to judge how good a year is by the places you've climbed or the routes you've sent... but by how big your ego gets.

I'm pretty sure.

So why did you place a cam when the bolt was right there?

There are not many trad routes at Kings... maybe 6 to 8 routes in total that go on gear. There are several that are mixed. But there are alot of sport routes that are nice flakes that can take gear. It is part of my learning experience... you see, to me placing gear on a sport route is a physical and mental training exercise. You probably won't run into much of this at the Red. King's is a sport park and was built to be so.

bad move, being me isn't all it's cracked-up to be (see Sandy's sig if it's the same as last week). however, I have been to IC 3x already this spring, so it doesn't totally suck.
