Friday Ramblings

Birthday Presents

Yesterday I celebrated my 29th birthday climbing at a great cliff in the warm sun on a perfect fall day. I knew good things were in store when my partners showed up at the lot and gave me this as a present:

The bolt found a home a couple hours later, part of an excellent new sport route, and the beer got consumed when the evening came. We sent four new routes and overall had a great day of climbing, it was almost too hot in the sun!

Yours truly on the first ascent of Birthday Boy. I never did figure out how to get the damn Big Bro to hold, thankfully a crack appeared in the back of the offwidth that took some blind gear placements. I figured I could always just bail to the fixed line if I got too scared…

Sector 7G Destroys Carbondale
Got any plans for the beautiful weekend coming up? Cancel them and head to Carbondale, where Sector 7G is playing two nights only at the Black Nugget. They are sure to rock the roof off the place, just like old times. Costumes are encouraged on Saturday night, it’s gonna be raging! Rumor has it front man Chris Kalous has lost his pleather pants, but don’t let that discourage you!
