The CragBaby

And … once again it is time to move on. =)

I have been in Hueco Tanks for the past month, soaking up the desert sun and attempting to get stronger.  I have absolutely loved the climbing here in Texas, but to be honest I am completely ready to move to the next destination. Whew! Next up is a quick stop in Joshua Tree, being there a mere few days, and then off to Bishop.

If any of you readers are close to either of these destinations, drop me a line as I would love to catch up.

After 4 great months in the South East, I pointed my vehicle west, heading to Arkansas to meet up with friends of mine from Boone, Rock Town and Chattanooga.

The Boone boys. I hadn’t seen these guys for at least a couple months, and it was superb to catch up again in a new location.  Pictured (from left to right) are Erich, Tilley, Daniel, Luna (the brillant white dog) and Sparticus (one of the guard dogs).

Daniel on The Orbweaver.  This was by far one of my favorite problems on this entire road trip.  I didn’t get the send on this one, but it was so enjoyable to work.

Steve on the Sloping Joe boulder. Please note that he topped this problem with the beach whale. =)

Erich on The Crescent.

My whole life in a pile, waiting for the house (aka my car) to be cleaned. =)

I apologize for this blog’s silence lately.  I am currently in Hueco Tanks and staying in a house with some climbers who have become good friends… meaning I am climbing, watching movies, sipping wine and doing anything but blogging.  =)  I am in the process of drafting some new posts, planning on publishing within the next couple days.

Hope all of you readers are well.
