A few 'great??' days out
The team has gotten out to Great Barrington and the Gunks the lat two weekends.
We went to GB not knowing what we would find for conditions. What we found wasn't great. All of our intended routes had ice on many of the holds. We were able to do some eliuminates, but no one topped anything out all day. Ben worked a V9 called Filter. I worked a few V7s (Green Goddess and one on the Filter wall). JP, Kyle and Luke worked a few things as well, but like I said, no one could claim a 'send' that day.
This past weekend was another story. JP started the 'send train' by dispensing with his first outdoor V4 - The Andrew Boulder Problem. Congrats JP. Ben kept the train rolling by completing a V6 - The Following - second try. Then Michael polished off a V8 - The Art of Nothing and a V6 - Merrakesh Express. I had a few repeat sends and made good progress on the V6s, but no new sends.
Wish the picture was bigger for you.
