Jpearl against a faux-Alpine stting

Who says indoor gyms can't be beautiful? Adam snapped this shot of me finishing up a cave route at Go Vertical in Stamford, Connecticut. Since I don't get outdoors too much, I have to let my climbing imagination run wild sometimes. I looked at this picture of me surrounded by wood, plastic, and air (and coloured tape) and imagined it all to be alpine in nature, though I really was only about 10 feet above sea level and less than a quarter-mile from Long Island Sound at the time. Go Vertical is an awesome indoor climbing centre and totally worth a visit.
