Plans...

After mulling over everyone else's plans for the winter, I've finally decided to sack up and make my own; do the things that I've always wanted, and the things that will make me happy.

Vague itenerary:

End Oct./Early Nov. - Get the hell out of Estes. Head EAST!

November - Kentucky, Family, Friends

December - W.V., Georgia, Alabama, Home for Christmas

January - Arkansas, to Dallas, TX on the 30th.

January 31st - Catch flight to Madrid, Spain

February/March/April 28 - Wherever the wind blows.

Just booked the tickets too!

Psyched about life!

Finished...

Laid to rest a 3 or 4 day project for myself today. Fired the thing second go, and I can confidently say that this new line is the hardest thing that I've been able to finish so far in my bouldering career; 17 moves of endurance climbing that stays with you the entire way, and ends with a committing stab to a good sidepull! Hopefully this momentum will pick up and there will be more good news/hard personal sends to report!

Drew Arrives, Sends

As Wayne made his exodus, another few friends, Drew and his girlfriend Rachelle, rolled right into town. Perfect timing. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't really going to be too cooperative for them during their stay. We were able to salvage a few days though, which were the last two, and spent them in the park bouldering at Lower Chaos.

Drew is still the man. He managed to quickly take down the ultra-classic Autobot the first day, and barely missed and ascent of Mikala. We returned today, warmed-up, and then Drew took down another Lower classic, Potato Chip. He is definitely still crushing, and it is always great to get to spend some quality time outside with some great people. Psyched.

I'm getting close on a few projects of my own, and was able to put a long standing one to rest yesterday with an ascent of Mikala. I'm hoping for a breakthrough sometime here in the very near future...
