washington rock climbing can be good

rock climbing today was great. bunch of great people getting psyched on steep routes at a steep crag. me and jake and erich ellis drove out this morning and met up with ben shrope and ben carney and danielle, and jeff and john G and erika and marshal and megan and dave thompson, nick rosser and john.

i had a good day feeling strong for the first few routes, but then got blown out on a redpoint attempt.

here is ben shrope and ben carney punching fists.





here is jake going for the redpoint on black magic 12d.











hopefully i will be able to continue climbing this fall. it has been nice not having to run team this summer. but i do miss the kids and the team in general. however, it does take away from my own climbing time.
gotta get more psyched to get more climbing. early mornings and late nights.
