5 Days in a row....

Wow - time really really goes slow for me - its great....I've climbed 5 out of the last 5 days - and well....lets just say I got up this morning at 7:30 or so - read some emails - and then went back to sleep until 12:30 (noon) - it was GREAT!

OK - so here's my recap of the past 5 days -
Saturday morning- Dave Statler and I left Charleston for a weekend at the Red River Gorge; weather was bad - rainy, monsoon-esque...and we hit both Military and Solar Collector - both crags being completely soaked - not just wet from rain, but condensation....but

There were a lot of cars at Roadside - so we figured it would be dry there - oh man - was it busy....but there were a bunch of peeps I knew - so it wasn't so bad. I took an easy day - just doing all the 10s on the 5.10 wall - and shooting some photos of Yasmeen on Wild Gift (bless her heart - that thing is scary when its 40 degrees and 0 percent humidity)

We piggy backed with WVU climbing club - and stayed in a cabin that night - which was RAD =) They had a hot-tub - which was comfy - and basically we all just hung out - talking shit on Coopers Rock and so forth =)

Sunday was a nice day - no rain - and windy - so we decided to head to Muir Valley. After warming up - I did a go on both Jesus Wept and Triple Sec (which is my project) - I couldn't stick the dyno move off the 2nd bolt - though I was able to do all the other cruxes fairly easily...one of these days - it will go down...

We ran over to the Stadium - and after 3 goes - I managed to sqeak my way through the wet - but mostly dry "Cheetah"

We drove back to Charleston Sunday night....

With Elodie now part of the posse - we met up with Bill Bauer and climbed at Summersville on Monday....

Summersville - Oh Summersville....not too bad on a Monday...to be continued...
