Rest Day Shenanigans

On our rest day we observed the local goats helping themselves to some climber's crag snacks. Oh well, what's mine is yours at Miguel's I guess.

Send updates: Shane sent his first 5.9 Creature Feature, as well as All Cows Eat Grass 5.8. As for me it has been a sick day but tomorrow is looking better.

OK I didn't really jump...I was pushed!

Climbing when it is 36 degrees outside is not a good idea...lesson learned.

No turning back now...

Bridge Day Jump

Sent "Fuzzy Undercling" 5.11b today. Truly a classic!

Shane and I have just decided instead of playing Rummy 500 on this trip...we are going to play Rummy 500,000!

Hanging out on "Return of Chris Snyder" 5.11d

Best shot of the day!

Dan working "Golden Boy" 5.13b

Mona Lisa Overdrive 5.11b

Chilling in the hueco on this sweet 11b. Got the send on my rest day. Other noteworthy sends were Natalie sending her first 12 ever, "Supafly" 12b. Also Pablo sent his first 12c "Blue Eyed Honkey Jesus". Big up to those two.!

Miguel's new bathrooms and showers

Miguel hopes to have it done by this weekend for Rocktoberfest, but no promises. It includes 7 shower stalls in the back. Also a double sink, double toilet mens and womens bathroom in the front. Should be sweet. And no Miguel has no idea what he is going to do with the top part. (At least he is not revealing it yet)

Leaving Fayetteville

First 12 send "All the Way Baby" 12b

Blowing the crux on "Pockets of Resistance" again.

Skins win and Dallas loses. Oh what a beautiful Sunday it is.

Belaying by the lake. Luckily we were able to get in a few easy climbs at Orange Oswald despite the group of Dukies there.

Happy to be at Summersville Lake. Apparently Jason is going to try to spear a fish with the stick clip.

The whole gang grubbin at Pies and Pints after a day of first sends.
