Updates...

Well the finger seems to be healing up pretty quickly.  It seems to be really good and strong anytime I'm applying pressure with all four fingers.  When I switch to a three finger open hand though it is still quite tweaky though.  I'm just planning to keep on resting it up so that it'll be back to 100% hopefully by the time Spring Break rolls around.

Speaking of which the itinerary for the trip is looking something like this:
  • Leave for Conway Friday and get in some night bouldering at Fountain Red.  Camp there
  • Drive to HCR Saturday morning and climb there the next two days.
  • Monday head back to Conway and maybe rest.  
  • Tuesday Petit Jean or go solo to FR.  
  • Wednesday, rest.  Drive to Jackson.
  • Thursday-Sunday climb at JF with Kevin Martin
  • Friday evening, Lindsay and Wayne roll in.
  • Sends
I'm pretty excited to say the least and while I plan to try and push the limits some I'm definitely going to mind the finger quite a bit.  I'm not ready for an epic finger injury.  Tape, tape, tape.  

Some big ticks that I'm hoping to knock off of this list over the break are:
  • Lavender Eye .12a - HCR
  • Even Dirtier V5 - HCR
  • Always Lead the Possum V6 - Fountain Red
  • Grungesex V6 - Down South
  • Horseshoes & Hand Grenades .11a - HCR
  • Newton's Law V6 - Fountain Red
  • Gak Traverse V5 - Fountain Red
  • Hidden Treasure .12a - Jackson (Has finally reached the status of EPIC!)
  • THC Sit V5 - Jackson (Did the stand right before I messed the tendon)
  • OBD Left & Direct V4 & V6 - Jackson
I'd be happy to tick off any other random sends too.  These are just of priority!  Definitely want to  get some good things down before it is off to Colorado, and then off to Mexico!  So much to do, such little time.

Congrats to Wayne for a sick weekend too, with sends of Orbital Mechanics V8, Even Dirtier V5, and Hammerhead V7.  Probably something else sick too.  He's tearing it up.  Lindsay finished up Always Lead the Possum V6 too.  Sends can only be expected to be increasing once this weather clears up too!!!!  Best of luck to all.

You'll onsight H&H. If you need extra support for the send, just call me and put your phone on speaker, and I'll scream encouragement at the top of my lungs.
