tales from new boulders

been climbing a lot lately and now my tips hurt. better than coming down with swine flu I guess... we made a new problem this weekend on the newly named Nutbrown boulder at loHo. great problem, V5ish. if you are small probably V6... even if we all had to go through being mooned by chase while projecting it, it was worth it!

texas

this weekend a trip to texas is going to happen. we visit brandon and molly. the girls are supposedly shopping for dresses to wear at the wedding, the males i hope are doing some climbing and maybe have a drink or two. freezing rain tonight might make the trip to spokane airport a little messy, hope everything melts away until wednesday night... well, we will see and i will report. other than that snowboarding was great this weekend. lindsay's family enjoyed montana powder too and we sure had some good food. nice visit! well, i will tell what austin feels like later, c

finally

we made it out saturday to do some backcountry boarding. we were up at lost trail, chair 4 was the goal. of course we did not know it took more than half an hour just to get there. the temps were crisp, around the zero fahrenheit mark. with the dogs and a good 4 feet of unpacked powder which was pure sinker we had to turn around about half way up. the downhill was fun but short, yukon stayed with us even without a leash!!! whoohooooo!!! then of course the hike back, man that sucked. but it was a good 3.5h in the snow, so it was great! and for the theory that after a streneous day in the cold you can drink as much as you want without getting drunk because your body burns all the calories it can and utilizes the alkohol: no, not right!

so,

who is victoria and what is her secret?

do you think she eats eggs?
