Didn't take a whole lot this trip, but I will see if I can come up with a couple more.

When are you going to hit rocktown with us? Of course, by us, I am leaving out the rest of my lame assed used-to-boulder-but-now-have-some-kind-of-lame-excuse friends. And you know who you are!

I wanna go bouldering this coming weekend. Are you guys down for a trip to the bald?

Can't this weekend, shooting the nutcracker for the Lexington Ballet.

Here are a couple more from this weekend. Might try to pull some out of the archives to help motivate a couple people to get back to PURE CLIMBING.

PS, can you spot the two other members of team crust? One is easy, the other a little bit tougher...

While we are on the subject and since you seem to hold the grade in such high regard, Kurt has forgotten about more 8a sends than you will ever do.

Is that Horton in the bottom shot?

Looks like him. You can see him carrying tall people beta on every problem in the SE.

Who's the dude in the red hat?

Not sure about Horton, but the Red Hat belongs to the verm. He saved Blake from certain death and/or suck-a-tude by giving him some key top out beta on that problem (v6 finger crack!). Blake was a serious rock star, with a career type day - first time at LRC, and he ticked two v6, like six v-5, and a bunch of v-4. Good enough to get himself bumped to advanced. Josie also rocked, coming in third in beginners women for the combined three comps.

Charlie, do you remember what sandstone bouldering is like? I checked out soap on a rope Friday - and it is still there. Waiting....

Man, even tho finger is still fuxxored I was actually gonna roll w/ Josie Thur evening. Fri morn I realized I was hosed. The flu kept me illin all weekend, couldn't even ride a bike.

May try a moderate 50 problem day at RT this weekend, just to see if I still remember how to climb. Patience man, it's hurting me as much as you.
