I'm GOING!

Well folks, I'm in. I bought my ticket last night for the trip of a lifetime. It's going to be a crazy good time.

I've been thinking about not going Hueco Tanks January, and staying around the south instead; trying to do a bunch of problems I've never done, and saving a ton of money in gas (aka not driving 3000 miles!) . I've hardly even touched little rock city, and I still have projects at HP40 and Rocktown. What do you think I should do? I've never been to Hueco, so I definitely feel that I should go, but I don't have reservations or anything yet. If you've been to the south, and Hueco... give me some advice, I can't make up my mind!!

In the mean time I have to start getting my crap organized.... too much to do, and so little time!

84 days until I leave!!!


Also worthy of note: Going to the Red for 4 days with this guy:


SICK!

Oh yeah! I one hung Hooligans on my flash attempt at the concave last Saturday! Then I one hung it again, and then again... haha! Oh well. Next time.

Where is the cold?

Where is the cold? Seriously. Yesterday we're hit with a friggen tropical storm and this weekend it's going to be 70 degrees. I'm ready for the 30's. I'm ready for it to get sticky outside. Grrr. Oh well....

Check out this little video I made for the boys over at P&C.

Ahh the cold

Well howdy do sports fans. Add Video

First off, War Eagle.

Second, I'm getting psyched. Is it weird that my excitement level is directly linked to how cold it is outside? Think about it. When I wake up, walk outside, and take a breath of nice cool air (im talking 40's people!), I immediately want to strap on my shoes, run out back, and start training. How come I can't keep this enthusiasm for the rest of the year? Climbers are no doubt a rare breed... Alluding to my upcoming trip, my Dad asked, "Why are you purposely maximizing the amount of cold you have to endure in both areas?" HAH! Why would I not?? It only makes sense right? Suffer the cold to send hard. Screw being comfortable. However, as I begin to realize that I am actually going on such an epic journey, I'm also thinking about the repercussions. How will camping in the cold for 7 months effect me? Am I cut out for this? Do I even have enough MONEY????

Only time will tell.

Regardless, I have have a few project in mind this fall that I would love to send before I went.


2. Golden Harvest




Speaking of Golden Harvest... Has anyone been to Rocktown lately? What is the deal with that place?
