Hueco... thanks.

I can tell by the countless number of blog comments, voicemails, and text messages I received while in El Paso that all of my readers, friends, and acquaintances are bursting at the seams to hear about how my climbing trip went. Well, here's the info you've been losing sleep over. Overall, our trip was amazing. We climbed for a total of 5 days (climb three days, rest one, climb two more) and after it was all said and done, we had sent a whole lot of rad problems and our fingers bear the abrasions to prove it. The picture above is of me starting a problem called "Nobody Gets Out of Here Alive." That's right, I'm starting it, not falling from it. This was by far the raddest V2 I've ever been on in my life. The hardest problem I sent over the week was a V4, while Colby and Mikey both sent a V5 (those stallions). We climbed around 8 hours a day, which not only allowed our muscles and finger pads to wear out, it also put us out in the sun long enough for my little nose to get real red. How someone as white as me forgets to pack sunscreen, the world may never know. On our next to last day at the Tanks, we were bouldering in this phenomenal cave that housed a V6 roof problem. The only inhabitants of the cave were the three of us, and two other, much stronger, climbers. After looking at one of the other occupants of the cave I realized it was professional climber Dave Graham... so we can say we've bouldered with Dave Graham, which is pretty dang cool. As is the case with most of my posts, there are many other stories and pictures that go along with this trip, and if you'd like to see them, you know who to call.
