if ever a dog looked adorable in a T-shirt, that's him! he doesn't seem to mind it much, either.

weke end report ... did not climb. went to teh Zoo Brew, a beer fest at the Santa Barbara Zoo. Blutarski was there as well. We drank the beerz, as did our respective gfs/wifes. Interesting beers included a habanero pilsner, which you pretty much can't drink more than a couple ounces of. They put a lot of fucking habanero in this thing, it's sort of awesome, but only in small amounts. Lots of good IPAs, of course; best was probably this one: http://www.figmtnbrew.com/our-beers/#hurricane-deck-double-ipa
On the way out, security prevented us from doing anything especially stupid, like attempting to go chill out with the leopards.
Drove home sunday and went straight to work from 1-midnight. long day today as well. whoo.

Weekend reports this weekend seem to invlove a lot of drinking and very little climbing.
Nathan and I did some yard work Saturday, had excellent grilled pork and veggies for dinner and then drank WAY too fucking much.
When I woke up on Sunday I'm pretty sure I was still drunk from the way the world was spinning. I got up, went back to bed, got up and got some crackers, went back to bed, ate crackers in bed, fell asleep for a while. Somewhere in there Nathan pukes. I finally get up at 11am, Nathan gets up around 1pm? What a fucking mess of a day.
At least it rained all weekend.

Weakend report: drove across the country on I-80. Listened to a bunch of European History audiobooks. One memorable quote:
"As Stalin pushed the Soviet Union into the Industrial Age, nobody thought to ask how many lives were lost for each ton of steel produced. The answer was nineteen."
Got to Yewtah, cried a bit as I drove over the pass into Logan Canyon, and caught a whiff of the high altitude aspens. Visited parents, and now I'm chilling in Torrey, working for the guide service, and hoping some of my mp partners will come through for the amazing fricking wingate splitters here, not to mention the granite.
Might be doing a westwater canyon trip next week with some bros, including atg. Rowing my own boat and getting back into it!

You expect him not to eat all the t-shirts he has to wear? right
Seriously though, glad he is ok.

yeah, we had a close the bar night out here. Pg's brother is visiting, so we can't do much climbing this week. Got out friday to a pretty cool little chosspile with fucked up grades. I climbed a .10a gear line that felt like an .8 and two grovelly .8s that felt a bit harder.
And then we shot guns while the dog slept in the truck.

Speak for yourself!
No drinking here, and only moderate amount of climbing, but I am pleased with the results.
Climbed with Spikey (who, of course, is among the legions that lurk and read this thread) and Tony.
Big lack of psychiness on Tony's part. I can't believe that a climber would be living at the Red for months and not taking the advantage of this opportunity to climb as much as possible, but of well...

Yeah, tony couldn't even get up the motivation to order me a hangbored. Seems he's going to have to get more psyched if he wants to send 5.14 like his facespace status was just spraying. Is he chasing after Nat, too?

Settling in here in Torrey. Can't believe I've been away from the red rock country for so long, it's awesome here, minus missing my dribble.
Went bouldering yesterday down in the park, did an old circuit on some porbelms that the mythical bvb put up when he was a ranger here. Stuck a dyno to a sharp finger lock that I was not able to do when I was here last like 5 years ago.
Also walked a cliff line, there are some nice established splitters, very Creekesque. It's too bad that the NPS is not allowing any more routes to be put up, although there is tons of virgin wingate outside the park boundaries.
Found this amazing splitter, with anchors about 140 feet up (also posted on facespace, so this one's for Jack and Doc). It starts with a hard offset that is purple tcu size, which might be the crux, then widens to perfect fingers for the rest, all overhanging, no face holds. Not sure if it's been freed yet, if so, it was probably by Hong, and it's definitely a one three. There's another one three a few canyons over that is shorter, and all .5 camalots. Be psyched to get on them if I can find a partner here.
A couple small fires started on the mountain behind town here yesterday, then today some winds began picking up at like 45 mph, and the fires are going crazy. Smoke all in the air, really dark, ominous vibe, with the sun blotted out by smoke and by Venus today.

Yeah, 5.14 is not going to happen if you climb 2 5.10 warmups and call it a day.
And oh yeah, chasing in full effect. She asked me point blank in his presence to please give him her phone number, and he was def psyched to get it from me.
I hope she has fun with it while it lasts.
