I've got to say, it doesn't matter how much fun I have climbing the sport and I always do have fun. There really is nothing like some good old gear wanking.

Somehow it's just more rewarding to pull hard (for me) moves above gear.

A solid mix is preferable though.

If I'm on a week+ climbing trip, I really like being somewhere I can do both at the same crag. Very satisfying.

Yep... the older you get, the better a small increase in strength will feel. That's what I would like right now.... this summer is really draining the crap out of me... today's forecast is 107... luckily though we have a cold front coming through for Wednesday and the temps should drop off to 92F. Wooo!

I liked Cochise for that nice mix. Zeke and I did a cool route that allowed for both in the same route. Supposedly it's a "sport" route but we ended up plugging necessary gearz.

These kind of "mixed" routes are very common in Aus.

Hit the Gunks for three days in a row, first time doing that in a few weeks. technical ability is still there, but I couldn't climb more than 8 pitches on any given day. Still, felt good. Can't wait for Sept. when I'll be out for two weeks.

Thinking of heading to the New and / or the Red starting in Oct for a few weeks. Anyone interested in joining me at either place for a time.

Yeah, the wall of heat that is summer can put a damper on things. The only reason I've done so much climbing during the hot months this year is because I have 2 new partners, both of whom are in their first year of climbing and crazy gung-ho.

Normally I lay low during the summer and focus on the colder half of they year. These young'uns are trying to kill me.Pirate

Nice.

I love getting that solid bolt right when the pressure is starting to build. Makes for a more relaxed outing.

Got any room left on the dance card?

Seriously. I've got 2 weeks of vacation and the back is feeling progressively better.

Yes.

If it's the New River, I can come out anytime because it's only a 3.5 - 4 hour ride.

The Red River is a bit trickier but possibly doable. Myself and 3 other guys are planning a 7 day trip to one of the two gorges during the fall but haven't decided which just yet. We were talking about November though, so it might be a bit late. Things are leaning towards the Red so if we are out there at the same time, you are obviously welcome to pack the tent away for a week and crash in the rental cabin.

Just read this^^ and the phrasing is a bit ambiguous. To clarify, I'm not talking about hitting the gunks for a full 2 week, just noting that I've got plenty of time available.

If I'm not randomly injured and you've got the free time, I'm there.

Oct is best for me. I could do the new and / or the red for about five weeks starting the first week in Oct. I could also do the 'Gunks during that time, too.

Things are getting tough at home with my dad's wife, so I'm getting out after Sept. Not entirely flexible during the two weeks that Jeremiah is coming out in Sept, as we'll be on the road every 2-3 days hitting a new spot. If you time it right, you could meet us for two days in the 'Gunks, but that doesn't sound overly reasonable.

However, once in Oct and heading into Nov, I'm good. A buddy of mine is visiting the US for two weeks from Germany in Nov, so I'm making time to see him, but he may want to hit the New or the Red in Nov, too, so we'll see.

Lots of shit in the air. I'm pretty flexible. Let's see how things go as they go.

So you've managed to line up more reliable partners here lately?

Do the same thing I do. Plan a ton of trips and hope that people follow through on at least half of them.

Very good idea

October it is then and as much as I wanted to hit the Gunks this year, the New River is just fine. There is so much rock there I haven't even looked at yet, let alone layed hands on.

It sounds like timing would have to be too precise to really work. That and I'm not real keen on driving that far to climb in a 3 man team. Too much standing around and not enough climbing for that long of a drive. No big deal.

Just let me know when you are headed down. I can come to the New River for 3 or 4 day weekends at pretty much any point so I'm wide open.

Oh and FYI, we have pretty much settled on a week+ at the New River over the Thanksgiving break because most of my partners go to school and that is the only extended period of time they have off. That is probably too late for you but if you're still around...
