routesetting crew for redmond ABS

every year we hold an ABS comp at our redmond gym. i have been a part of this event for the past 8 years. we have it down like clockwork. thanks to Mike Helt of USAC and routesetter.com fame, bret johnston, adam brossard and myself for getting it done.
4 people, 2 days, 73 boulder problems. dialed.
i picked mike up at the train wednesday night and we headed straight to my soccer game, ugh we tied, but that is for another post.
me, bret, mike and adam got to redmond gym thursday morning at about 10:30. adam had stripped the gym and got it ready the day before. after 10 problems each, set and tweaked, we thought it was time for arayas. vegan thai is good. this was about 7pm.
friday got there earlier, about 9am, and left by 7pm.
i really appreciate how fast, efficient and professional my crew was the past couple days. i love not having to worry about other peoples problems and having to spend an excessive amount of time on any one thing. less setters, higher quality,= better comps.
comp went off without a hitch today with great praise from all the parents and kids and climbers. hate it when its happening but love it when its over. cant wait to do it again.
