Winter Day at GB


WOW it was COLD. Actually we started out the day less than psyched. Michael, Ben and I hit up the Probe boulder to warm up, but there was no warming done for several hours. Not long after we got there, along came Aaron and Tyler (a new guy from Wisc/VA). After discovering that we weren't getting much done on the V9 Probe, we moved over to the Speed boulder to get some work in on harder stuff ??
Ben made some progress on Something from Nothing V10, stalling on the hard move for him. Michael made the best goes to date on his V13 (what???) project Roses and Blue Jays. I had no work whatsoever for the V8 or V9 up there.
We decided to move on down the line to the larger concentration of boulders so I could give a go at the Bump V8, something I had been working a few days and was hoping to send before ice enveloped the SPAC boulder. After the 10 minutes of walking, the day suddenly got warmer and our spirits much higher. Ben got the repeat on Bump, sending with the prescribed method, as did Michael, using his own beta. And I also got it second go of the day. Next project please...
We stopped up at Snooze to give Aaron the support/ spotting he needed to send it in a day. Good Work! And then moved over to the slopy Twisted Stihl V8. Michael quickly sent do show us the beta and then Ben and I gave it some goes for about 30 minutes. We weren't able to get to the slopy lip yet, but it feels fun and within reach. Possibly the next proj for me?? After I send Boxcar though ;-)

Merry Christmas all.
