Mill Creek, Bouldering and the Wedding

15 August 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever heard of Mill Creek? Probably – there’s video of Dean Potter and Steph Davis soloing some stuff there - ITS RAD! Sandstone – it totally reminded me of the NRG – same texture, more features – lots of patina. I pretty much got owned there….I did managed to onsite an 11b slab – which felt a little rough for the grade – and I don’t think I ever screwed up the sequence….

I photographed this one dude on a really good looking 8a too – I’m pretty psyched with the shots =)

Friday night – we had a bachelor(ette) party out in the desert. We definitely got lost looking for the place – well – we were doing great until we were “looking for a bunch of cars beneath the one tower.” Party was good – I DEFINITELY stepped out of the box and got a little rowdy with my drink selected – I had THREE non-diet sodas…yah, it was nuts.

We woke up Saturday morning fairly early and went out bouldering in the desert – Did I mention we were staying at a “ranch” sorta motel? It was definitely nice to have a real bed and shower. – The water was terrible though – they only had well water (and it was out in the middle of no-where – no cell phone, but internet…)

Anyways – we went bouldering in this “secret” area – which really isn’t all that secret – you can totally see it from the road – but I just got THRASHED – Skin was definitely low to begin with…I was hosed Tommy…I was hosed.

The wedding was very nice – it was in the desert – on a balcony – behind the “inn” – there was a lot of rad dancing at the reception – good food and the whole shazaz…

Deniz managed to hook us up with a climbing partner at Indian Creek for the next day – so we went to bed late – with the intentions of waking up early…
