it all comes full circle


the hub motel in redmond oregon. this place rules. it always has. if you tell her your a climber she only charges you $48 for the double room, two rooms, two beds. they got microwaves, fridge, free wifi, cable. i love it. it is so much nicer for me to come back from craggin and have all the amenities of home. man im gettin old, but im just not into camping that much anymore.
i also stopped by the newer redpoint shop today. they had some good stuff. i saw some mountain hardwear crag bags that we awesome. i also saw a picture of the old red shack that was redoint back in the day. i remember eating pop tarts in there for breakfast while kubiak and craig, and will caitlin and mike smith would get coffee. those were fun times for me.
i was able to do churning today. it felt good. took a couple tries. it really brought back good memories. that was the climb i wanted to do as a kid. it was the route everyone wanted to do, if they hadnt done it already. funny how it goes now. it really felt short. but i guess im used to long extensions at little si. i wanna head up into agro gully sunday. the routes seem good and more my speed, meaning holds to pull on and less balancy tech, ie oxygen type routes.
we got a comp at inclimb tomorrow, so i will be working with the kids, should be fun. then we will be back at the smith.
