Arkansas Update

Well, today was day 4 on of consistent climbing and a lot has happened since the last update. We're now out of the Hartlerode's house and are shacking up in our cabin at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. Pretty good time. There are like 16 people or so that I know from the last summer here chilling and just enjoying the beautiful weather and awesome friendship. Here is a short recap with some pictures of the climbing during the last three days, leading up to today.

Day 2:

Ended up taking a bit of a rest of a rest day. Ended up repeating all of the same problems from day 1 at the ranch first go and called it a day. Here are some shots of the sends.

First move of Wild Flowers V3:


Topping out on nothing:

Strolling away:



Day 3: Today I was able to get a send on High-Five a V4 dyno. Unfortunately, there are no pictures or video.


Working Memento V5...Still haven't sent. It sooooo hard for me:


Feeling like junk, and trying to get psyched for Miho V7 (Wayne has the video cam too, so video is to come):


Miho V7, the send photo sequence:

Crazy drop move knee to gaston:



The crux foot move:


Hard drop left knee into a full on compression move with the gaston and out to a good three finger crimp:


To the slopers on the top out:


Finishing it up:



Day 4:

Today, I was able to get two sends. One of the super cool Moondye Stand Start V4, which has this beastly dyno (video to come), and then also one of Chuckwagon V6 (pictures to come). Pretty psyched since today was supposed to be a rest day (HA!)

Happy New Year!
