Got back from Bishop last sunday.
That place is frekin great.
Drove 24 hours with 5 other people.
Camped at the pit.
Went to happy boulders.
Repeat 5x.
One day, when I thought all my climbing mojo was gone, I decided to leave the nest that is the happy boulder, and walk up the canyon. I really did intend to hike, but alas, I could not get past a problem. Literally, I could not walk past it. THere were three people at the base, working it. I asked if I could step in. I styled the first half, got through the crux, and, realizing the height, started flipping. One, out of happiness for sending (I had worked the peoblem the day before, with no succes), and two, out of fear because the next move actually requied some thought, and went higher at the same time.
"Got me?" I ask nervously.
"We got ya"
I topped out and came back down. They started working the peoblem. one of the guys goes- 'Come on merrick. You got it'
!!!!!!!
I pondered the younder, wondering where I knew that name from.
"Say, are you guys from Chicago?"
"yeah, how'd you know?"
"I'm Huggybone."
Turns out it was Yoko, Merric and Colt45, From climbkentucky.com.
Small world.
It was like the mojo from the red passed from them, unto me, allowing me to send my hardest problem of the trip.
The red has the mojo.
