zulu

i am sooo psyched, i sent zulu yesterday. my first V7 and hard earned. i projected it a while with many goes and finally got it yesterday. jarred gave me great beta and brendan was so supportive. it took me another 25 goes... that after doing the hard moves and falling at the relatively easy topout at my third attempt. it was getting dark and rainy and i got very tired. but i finaly got it in the shine of the fire. had a couple of drinks to celebrate... such a great season!!!

in the photo zulu sit-starts overhanging in the corner facing us and tops out in the middle of the face.

my weekend with Dr. Jones

lazy days... not enough snow to go out with the board or snowshoes and too much to climb. so i started watching the indiana jones trilogy. still rocks! i also did like the clos du bois merlot. well, i spent some time at the UM gym saturday climbing and setting routes with many good people from the big city. good fun! hoping tomorrow will do the trick and miss yukon van poopsen, lady to fartsalot and me can play outside. can´t wait for lindsay to come back!

mondays

just seem to be a little worse. I think the indoor season opening party in our garage was a blast! we had good times climbing lost horse this weekend too. luckily we can make fires just next to the boulders here... lindsay got sooo close to snatching the traverse that i'm sure it is going down this season. jarred showed me some tricks for Zulu and i actually stuck the first move!!! psyched to go again and maybe get lucky on Zulu. otherwise next season fo' shizz. this time aaron had three eggs in the very cool chicken (and goat) house...

reelrock

Tired day today. we were at the reelrock tour last night in missoula and met up with friends for beers and burgers after the show. it was really good fun, amazing footage in the films and great times at the old post with so many friendly people. then again, today is pretty slow. luckily it is raining... and: lara ate eggs for braeksfast that her very own chicken laid, amazing!!!

Got It!!! had to change the beta a bit, but Dita von Teese Eliminate is no longer a project. climbed with jarred, he got Zulu (V7) and made it look smooth and easy. just after that i sent the new problem, maybe V6, probably hard V5. so it was a very good day. pizza and wine after that wasn't too bad either... off to the Lori Cumstain Boulder at the blodget campground for lunch today, then loHo after work. busy days, busy days!
