Update...

Well, I think that I might have some new things to mention. Today, was a pretty eventful day. Started out warming up in the North Idaho Boulders and I just decided that it might be cool to try Memento V5 again since it was right there so close. First go, I didn't feel so awesome and fell off at the same spot. Second go, I ended up stick the tricky left foot smear and high inside right and reached right up to the finishing jugs. Sweet!

After this we headed over quickly to the S. Idahos and watched a friend nail Dig Dug V4 in perfect style, first go. After this sweet send, we cruised right down the hill to work on Razors Edge V7. Pretty sweet problem, and thankfully today I was able to put together the send right after Lindsay was able to get hers. Wayne sent two days before. Next, we went over to the Moondye boulder and did some work and eventually we ended up back in the S. Idahos. There I was able to send a cool direct mantle finish to The Crescent, which ticks in at V6, and has to be one of the scariest problems that I've ever sent. And I did it twice today. I also repeated a silly little V3 dyno "Dirty Bitch", a V2, and a V1 arete. Pretty busy day and needless to say I'm pretty worked right now. It's looking like a rest day.

Here are some pictures that Matt Duck took of sendage on Moondye Boulder, New Years Eve!

Working Chuckwagon V6 with bad beta and really missing the chuck:



Chuck stuck:


Kind of a highball topout:


Working on Cloud of Stars V7. It's soooo hard:



Hitting a big move to a dimple. Can't really call it anything more since there isn't hardly a hold there. It was very cold too:


Sending Moondye Stand V4. Ignore body my slamming into the wall and the manky topout:





It's looking like some rain will be moving in tomorrow and we'll be taking a rest day to rejuvenate and get psyched for Sunday at Fontaine Red! Pretty pumped as I've been wanting to make it there for like a month. Hopefully, I'll be coming back with more good news of sends!
