Since Last Update...

Well, not a lot has really been going on out here since the last update. Mainly I've been working a lot so that I can make my full salary, and in the off time I'm doing some climbing. Made some new friends this week too. A girl named Sarah who worked here at the Y last year and her friend Ashley are in for a few days so we climbed with them last night at Lumpy and then today at Prospect and in the evening we went and bouldered at Marble.

Lumpy was all right yesterday. Sent a cool little V1, although I felt a little rough the entire night climbing. We also worked on a problem that was a little bit harder, but no one was able to put it together.

Today we all slept in and then Drew, Jordan, Sarah, Will, Stephanie, Ashley and I all headed out to Prospect for an afternoon climbing session. It went well thankfully, and I was able to send my 5.11b project on the second go! It really feels good to climb something that is really hard for me and to feel myself gradually getting better!

After Prospect we all came back and grabbed some dinner and headed to the Marble boulder where I ran a few circuits on some of the problems and gave a few other lines a try. Amongst the others was a really cool direct start for the V3 that is on the boulder. It's going to be really cool when it goes!

Here are the obligatory pictures from the weekend!
