I was teaching an advanced rappel and asscend course at lions head with my girlfriend.
One guy puked looking at the 210 footer and left the course early (we go at midnight and 200 feet of it are overhanging), the winds were a bit high but gave the adventure racers a taste of what to expect.
I got to asscend and "rescue" a bunch of stuck people...not a high light but still fun.
Would have liked to climb more but I was a bit tired after a TON of asscending.

me and a buddy went to suicide to do a little trading. we went to the far right side and did flower of a high rank to warm up, and i led Etude, direct start. great route, and woth every bit of anticipation i experienced. although i did hang once, i thought it was a valient effert. then we moved over to the first pitch of flakes of wrath and the first pitch of jhony quest.
not a bad day for leaving the house at 8 or 9.
i think the kicker was seing all the blood left by a poor man that compound fractured his ancel on flower of a high rank. jesus that must have been a bad day up there.

I was in Colorado with three good and trusted partners. It was my first mountaineering experience. We climbed the Crestone Needle, via the Ellingwood Ledges route. (more or less) We got to do the descent in a hard pellet snow and thirty+ mph winds, leaving everything as slippery as goose sh*t. hmm... and 5 minutes ago, it was sunny and pleasant. :shock:
I never had so much fun in all my life (with my clothes on, that is)

Friday, climbed Moby Grape with two good friends. Had the route to ourselves, which I am sure did not happen Saturday and Sunday. Chill day, mellow, fun.

Spent the weekend at Jackson falls, IL. The rock was slick and the rain was prevelant. luckily we has large amounts of alcohol to keep our spirits up. Really looking forward to my trip to the Wind River Range and the Tetons. I really hate the mid-west sometimes.
Luckily the weather is looking up for Red River Gorge this weekend. Hopefully we will find some dry sandstone and hot miguels pizza.
peace.

Gunksed it up - camped out Saturday night and enjoyed a heavenly light show from the pull off parking lot. From the lot at 10PM I could see a huge moon coming over the horizon, fireworks, and thunder in the distance that looked to make mushroom clouds - all to the peaceful hum of the evening breeze. Good times.
