I too need to plant some spinach. I also regret not starting the ziploc bag with the wet paper towel trick with my snap peas last weekend. I find I get much better germination rate (80%!) starting them this way than just plunking them into the ground.

You guys really should be growing and eating kale instead of spinnach. Better for you and IMO nicer. The flat variety is my favorite. Think its called dinosaur? I call it dragon kale... sounds better.

Even though I don't wanna wish too hard for an oncoming TX summer I'm psyched for the warm weather. Already warm enough down here for DWS... just no good lake levels. Hopefully we'll get more decent rain.

Weekend was a bit lack luster. No planning was done. The highlight of the weekend was probably bouldering in the basement on Sat afternoon, though I did manage to get drunk Sat night when we went into Toronto to visit our friend. Of course the hour drive back that night ensured I just fell asleep when we got home rather than anything interesting.

On the bright side I potted my canna lilies and sent the brown problem in the basement (minus the first move) while Nathan was out aid climbing Sunday.

Woo! It is unfortunate that she did not knock a big piece of ice down and kill you.

My thoughts exactly

I sent another 12 on Saturday afternoon at Shagg. Think I've sent the projects that needed sending there now. Am feeling pretty good for the roadtrip. Need to get cracking on the elephant build out.

Sounds like you're doing pretty darn good for being so early in the season.

Yeah, just started a 9-5 in addition to my teaching evenings. It's gonna be a busy couple of months.

Just picked up a bench press on craigslist, though. Woo!

I've been working on my antagonist muscles the last three months and have a marked improvement on overall body balance and strength. It really is crazy how much unbalance 20 years of climbing has on the body.

Have you tried a kale colonic?

Gross!

I do eat around 3 bunches of kale a week though.

Well, that was a really cool weekend at the smug atheism rally.

Today's going to be hell, though. We got back last night at 3am, I slept for 3 hrs, and now have to work 8 hrs at McJorb and then teach a two hour class. Going to be a zombie today, ugh.

I feel very sad for you as I sit here, killing time for my rest day, drinking iced mocha and waiting for skin to re-grow.

Wow, those must be really soft 12s. Angelic

In other news, I am really having my ass handed to me so far on this trip.

But no tears to report so far. Banz is really trying to get me there though... I think we started the trip by doing every single (!)-marked scary V-easy. His quote from day 1:"Well, if you didn't think that was scary, then you will do really well at Hueco."

This place is pretty awesome. Wouldn't go so far as to call it the best bouldering on Earth, as some people do, but pretty freaking awesome, anyway.

I'd like to get back Hueco sometime, but people keep telling me that access is way more jacked then it was when I was there 8 years ago, and access already seemed pretty jacked at that point.

Don't have "back in the day" experience to compare to, but this is not too bad. We had reservations, so no waiting at the entrance, and we got an annual pass, so don't have to do much to sign up every day. The intro movie took 10 min, no big deal.

The biggest downside is that all popular problems are really chalked up, covered with shoes rubber and polished. More then once, I came down from a problem and thought, wow, this is super-awesome, great moves, I only wish I had a chance to climb it back when it wasn't so "used"...

But that is the fate of all popular places. When we were climbing at the Choco factory a couple of weeks back, we actually had this exact conversation, along the lines of, this is so awesome, but I bet the Military wall looked/felt just like this 10+ years back...

Ha! Fuck ewe!

Glad you and banz are rocking it! Too bad I'll miss you in the NRG this weekend. Hopefully the clamhats will have recovered from their godless heathen pagan gathering.

Speaking of the NRG we should be heading down over Easter. Where are people camping now that baby Ung is in the picture?

Camping is pretty grim at the New right now, not just because of baby Jung, but also because Roger's closed. We're giving the Jungs space, they don't have a guest room anymore, but we've still camped low key in their yard; plus, we have one other friend whom we stay with sometimes there, too (though he is popping out the kids, lately, as well). I'd just ask Jay; he's always been really up front about saying "sorry, not this week" if it's a hassle for them, so no biggie if you just ask.

Other options: free camping at Summersville Dam, free camping at awesome sites on the Meadow River (I can give you directions if you want). Legal stealth car camping at the Cottontop parking, and in that area wherever there are not signs prohibiting it.

Also, there are a few places that are more for rafters, but have camping plus showers for $8/night or so: The New River Gorge Gateway Center, Cooter's Camping and Cabins, and Chestnut Grove campground, all of which are within 10 minutes of town.

Next year, the AAC should have their climber's campground set up, but for now, be psyched that numbers are WAY down at the NRG!

I will be at the slightly overhanging slabby area tomorrow.

Got straight seshed in Josh today. Baby Huey Smokes an Anti-Pipeload... is no warmup. Nearly perished free soloing up The Nose In A Day, the silly 5.9 next door. It didn't look so bad from the ground, but then all of a sudden I'm on a chickenwing, my knee is stuck below a constriction, I have no right hand at all and I'm standing on a tiny foot in sloppy moccasyms... in the sun. I'm nearly greasing. got to the top and started shaking. Woo!
