Awesome woman!!!! Glad to hear you are having fun & climbing hard! See you at THE PARTY!!! Want to see tons of pics!

what v4 did you send wes? and at which area?

Carrot Top, on the Fred boulder at the Happies, I think. Fun problem, and it took me less tries then several of the V2's...

Heading down to J-Tree today. It will be nice to get back on a rope some, but I am thinking we will be doing some of the bouldering as well.

I loved Jtree bouldering. Do some of the highballs. False up 20, there are a couple cool v1-v3/4 highballs on the Turtle Boulder that are cool as shit, White Rastafarian is such a cool line, i would get to the top out and down climb everytime, its such a commiting line, but such a sweet line, do Pig Pen(i think) anyway its a roof crack for 15 feet or so turns the roof then thin face/crack climbing to the top about 12/15 feet, not a highball but cool, do Gunsmoke v2/3 traverse thats pretty damn pumpy, check out Street Car Named Desire in that area, i cant do the line as its done now, but doing it as an old school jtree jump problem was fun as hell. So much more to even try to list, grab the guide its worth it. Look forward to seeing you all when you get back.

buy some super glue

So are the highballs there any higher then the "normal" problems at the buttermilks? That roof crack is on the list for sure.

Wes

No if your head is there with the "normal" problems at the Buttermilks you should be able to handle the height on the Jtree problems. The landings at the milks were a little better from what i remember, and you didnt have those sharp ass jtrees hitting you when you pitch off. The granite is so different though, way different. Watch your tips, get your smearing shoes on, and commit. Your gonna love it man, not just the climbing but the scenery is like a freaking flinstone movie. The sunsets when we were there, freaking amazing. Try to get to a high point and watch it.

Jtree is great, there is some really cool cafe's in 29 palms there is one that had an internet connection and they also made some good sandwhichs my favorite was the hummus, avacado, cuccumbers, carrots, sprouts, and a tomatoe all on a honey wheat bagel. I think its behind or by the big turtle.

i'm just really hungry right now, i had to skip lunch to finish a prolect.

Gunsmoke is sweet. All the problems around the Hidden Valley are are cool. Some V1 scoop problem shut me down. I was mad. I got rock rash on my face from it. Don't forget to rope up though.. way cool stuff. Wild Wind and that 8 next to it are awesome. Superglue is key. Kiss that new resole goodbye!

So when are you guys returning to Lex???
