Sorry, I just got carried away last night. JTR is a cool route for sure. Fun moves and slammer gear the whole way.

Thanks to everyone for the good vibe. And big thanks to the whole team for risking death on the muddy trail so I could give it an attempt.

Meadows was also a sending machine this weekend. In the light and king me both went for her. And she had a nice burn on tissue tiger and corpus delicti. I think both of those will go for her pretty soon.

And sunshine, well, it is just cool as hell to climb with him. No one else I would rather have on the other side of the rope when trying something hard and/or scary.

He quite simply crushed JTR. I think I heard him breathe hard like 2 times at the top and it's probably the hardest trad route I've ever been on.

Wes is a sexy beast for sure.

I remember when wes was hanging out with team hippie and wanted to start "team sumo" and to be the most travelled 5.6 climber in the world. So much for goals!!

Way to go Wes!

You should have no shame for spraying on that send. Dare I ask if you might want to give Here Comes Batman a try?
