Sorta like where's Waldo. Where's Merrick? Just look for the funny shirt ,er I mean the funny jewelry. Think Ill draw teeny tiny Merricks in hidden spots on my topo.It'll give Di something to do while shes waiting for me to place something.

Damn when I grow up I want to be just like Merrick! I wonder how well his beast of a car is holding up to all this travel :?:

I live with Merrick, well, kinda.

Since July or so, he's been in our appartment less than a month. What he doesn't know is that we've moved all his stuff into the basement and sub-leased his room to a super hottie rock betty.

See ya soon dude.

Dag! I didn't realize how organized ol' boy's trip is. (Check the web link above) Looks like he's got about a twenty to one climb to work ratio going - about the opposite of mine :(

hi folks,

just thought i would stop by and say hi. i wish i had more time to keep up with the board but i seem to find myself busy climbing all the time. i am in el paso(hueco tanks) now and heading up to colorado(shelf road) to climb with climbhigh(matt n amy) from the board for a month or so.

my trip has been going amazingly well. hopefully i can get some pictures posted in the next few months. i have hundreds on my laptop but no time to put them up. my car has been doing really well and survived two trips down into mexico without a problem. i must highly reccomend portrero chico. it is definately one of my all time favorite climbing areas. if you haven't gone plan to.

balancing work and climbing has been a challenge. while i am not making enough to break even i am bringing in enough to cover most of my costs on the road. i think i might have to move all my stuff into the basement and sublet out my room to a super hottie rock betty. if you really have already done this miguel i am going to stop sending rent checks.

i don't know how much posting i will be doing for a while but i will be heading back to the red and will hopefully see you all this spring(late april?)

you can definately keep track of my trip on my website. i keep it really updated. if anyone is going to be crossing paths with me definately let me know (email or phone) and we can hook up and do some climbing.

i miss all you guys come out and climb with me...
