A day at the Mills.....

I drove up to Pittsburgh - and bouldered/climbed at McConnells Mill with Bob, Joel and the Climb North crew - Man - as Bob said - a few days of rest does some wonders - basically I cleaned up all my old top rope projects, sending Mini Ovest (aka Peter Pan) - 12a, I did Crater Expectations (5.12a) and the direct finsih (5.12b) - these, of course, are real grades not what Bob rated them =) - ok maybe I'm just fluffing......

anways - yeah - good day - at the Mills....oh and I managed to onsite a new boulder problem that Justin Mech from Climb North did - "Malaria (V2)" which was qutie cool - a LONG traverse with good feet - followed by a rather high and scary finish....

I took photos of Joel Brady on the first ascent of Happy Little Tree (V6) on the Ross Boulder (you know - Bob Ross the painter?) - well the boudler was named after Nick Ross - who did the first problems on the Ross boulder - anyways - I also shot him working the obvious extension start to it...I won't post these of course - because I'll try and sell them...
