It's been a while...
It's been about a month since i posted last...
many things have happened recently..
For the may 3rd weekend i flew to chicago
It was my mom's birthday so i celebrated that with her...
spent time with my dad as well
And went to Hidden Peak for some climbing...
It was a too eventful weekend...
On my mom's birthday we went on a 3 hour walk...
it would have been good if i wasn't wearing flip flops...
That following wednesday (6th of may) we had our last TBA comp of the season...
it was a really good comp, i'd say one of the best of the series... we had good problems set...
The comp went by smoothly with some conflict at the end... but all in all it was great!!
That weekend was mothers day and we went to maryville to celebrate it with jimmy's parents (and family)... they were taking proffessional family pictures... that night we left for the red...
jimmy and i went to the red for a short three day trip (may 11th - 13th)
First day we climbed at Drive By... jimmy tried this awesome climb that joe bolted... it is a really badass line!! Jimmy almost did it second go... should of try it a third time... I had an alright day... just doing easy things to make sure i didn't hurt my finger again... (its been hurting a lot lately)
The next day we went to the Motherlode... we got to hang out with parents to be Thalia and Aaron... Thalia is about 6 months along... YAY!!
Jimmy and i were feeling pretty tired... we only got two or three pitches each...
We did watch Aaron though get on Transworld 4 or 5 times... it was impressive... wait he also ran the madness... I want to get that kind of endurance...
The third day we went back to drive by so that jimmy could get back on that route (i forget the name)... it started raining on our drive there... he got on it and it just didn't want to go for him... then i got on Kalidescope... it was awful...
After that we just decided to head back home... we stopped at a gas station, picked up some Ale8ones... and hit the road
One thing i learned was that i had to work on that endurance...
When we got home.. Jeremy Walton pulls up and says he's back from Dallas and is going to go to UTC or Chatt State next semester... we found ourselves a room mate for now... YAY!!
A few days later (May 18th) we went out to the Concave... Jimmy got on SoCo... it looks like an amazing line... he tried it twice and the second go was awesome (2 hang)... i got on Hooligans and FINALLY DID IT!! I WAS SOO PSYCHED!! It's an awesome line, but i'm so glad i'm done with it... I'm pscyhed to get on some other climbs in there now...
At the end of the weekend we went back to Knoxville (May 21st and 22nd) and went to this new area called Royal Blue... some amazing rocks out there... i didn't climb much because of my finger... but jimmy did a cool FA... and later on that day jeremy got another FA... it was a good day... the next day we went looking for another area... we drove down this crazy road that got my car really dirty (it got washed the day before)... we walked around for about an hour or two and found A LOT of amazing rock! we didn't climb anything, but next time we'll clean some stuff and try it out... we headed on over to the Lilly Boulders... where jeremy did testify... jimmy tried recluse (wet again) and jimmy did the transformer traverse... i had an epic on slam dunk... it took me at least 20 goes to do the rock climb!! but i did it... and i'm proud of it!!
I've been working a lot at the gym lately as well... On saturday (may 23rd) i built shelves in the back (behind the traverse wall) so that we can store holds better... i'm proud of myself...
Also this weekend (may 23rd - 25th) we had some friends from Florida stay with us... a lot of good happened... play three poker games (1st game - zero money, 2nd game - 25 cents, 3rd game - $1) fun times... we went bowling... jimmy bowled a 203 and i got a 145... super fun... last poker game we stayed up till 5am... kind of a bad IDEA!! also one of the guys bought my pad... YAY!! Money for the CO trip in late june!!
And here i am on Memorial Day (May 25th) on a rainy day... working at TBA... hoping more ppl show up!!
On thursday we drive out to New Jersey for the Gravity Brawl comp! I'm so psyched for it... the comp is awesome every year! I get to see old faces (Lesley)... fun times fun times!!
