Where to begin... I guess I'll start by letting you know that you don't need a visa to go to Europe, at least that's what the French consulate told my friend Alex. Unfortunately I had already driven to Houston (eight hours out of the way), and found myself there without any purpose. I decided to cancel my hotel, not go to the Consulate appointment, and take a right turn on I-10. After a 1000 miles by myself I stopped at Motel 6 to recharge. The next day was new year's eve. I drove into El Paso and met up with my friends Dave and Craig. (NOTE: all the photos from this post are Craig's. Check out his SITE) The first night at Hueco was somewhat unreal. Maybe it was the Day Quill, or maybe it was the 20 foot tall fire and exhaustion.
Light my fire. With bottle rockets.
More? Yes of course.
BOOM!
Why so serious Dave?
The Man Himself.
Hueco is truly an amazing place. I'd always said I wanted to go there when I had at least 2 weeks. I highly recommend this. With the rules and everything I think a two week minimum is in order. I didn't do too much projecting on harder problems, but I did run around and do as many classic moderate problems as I could. There are too many. Way too many. I wish I had spent more time on East Mountain and the East spur, but there is always next time. I feel good, and I am psyched about the EURO adventure.
Check the pics.
