HOLY CRAP!!! Incredible.

Rocktown was good, but HP was very close to a 10 out of 10.

Six tips blown and I couldn't be happier. When I got back, I tried to write out my homework and it ended up looking like I was in fourth grade. The slopers are so good.

Do you realize how masochistic climbers sound?? I love it.

The only ones that aren't are sporties.You need to follow us up some OW.

now wait a second.. you called me sporty once, that wasn't a compliment?
Oh ,that's right , you don't know me.

SCIN, I didn't really check it out all that close, but the arete just looks so striking. I also am not much for eliminates as well. I tried Man with a Slow hand with and without the hand jam. It feels really funky without, like it just doesn't flow the same as with the crack on. Next time I think I am just going to send it with the jam and call it V1.

The funny thing about that pic - it looks like I am sticking the lip, but really, he just caught me for the .4 seconds that it took for me to peel off. I really want that problem next time, it took a bunch of skin from me this trip, along with Bum Boy.

You should see some of those "sporties" pulling down at HP and rocktown. Do you think your tips can last for three days on at HP40? For me, I am more full body trashed after a couple days of bouldering as I am after a week of crack climbing.

It was a great crew there for sure. CT Cincy was in full effect, JR and crew were pulling down for sure. Climbhigh looking strong, sending several v5's after only a couple go's. Gabe just kicks ass. Still giving 150% with just about every finger bleeding. I think he used a full thing of Krazy glue. And Tim is way strong as well. A very cool end to a very cool road trip.

And remeber, wear long sleeves & pants and bring tape.

And while ya'll were at HP40, did anybody climb the problem I broke my ankle on? It was a V3 slab to the left of Wondrous Cleavage.

Also check out this one:

Is that problem on the front side, near area one? If so, we kinda worked on one problem there.

I got on the slab by Cleavage. It was pretty sweet. The one that I really enjoyed was Mortal Kombat. It seems like such a simple proposition, yet it is so hard.

Also, Orca was really awesome.
