Back in Action

I haven't published in a while because I have given my fingers a two-week rest while attending to other weekend activities (Namely a middle school conference of 600 kids). But the boys haven't missed a Saturday, rolling out to Triple Right on the 14th and the Carriage Road on the 21st. They have continued to throw down some V4s, 5s and 6s. Very impressive stuff.
I'm excited to get back on rock this week, as I'm teaching a Sport Leading class Mon, Wed and Sat. And I hope to get out and climb something hard on Friday as well.
The boys are very excited about the 200 new holds that the gym acquired last week and were pumped to show me all the new routes they were setting.
Spring is lookin' up.

Spring is almost here




We've had two great Saturdays in a row climbing down at the Gunks. Yesterday was especially superb. With 60+ degree temps and a huge crew rolling down, we got the send train going early. Everyone got to polish off a few of the classic moderates, including Sam who had his first outdoor bouldering day ever.
G and Kyle both sent their first V5s. Mark his first V4 and Ben had the send of the day a V6 Marrakesh Express.

Very soon all the snow will be gone and we'll diversify a little more in where we visit each weekend.

Until Spring...
