D.A. movin' through the business (which is the whole route).
This morning I sent 'Serak' (D6+), on second try, at the Sava drytool crag. Then I TRed it, but that wasn't as fluent.
First outing with the new axes, ha.
Cleo and I are in Thailand. We went to Railay yesterday on a scouting mission, bringing only our shoes. Had a pretty good time bouldering and watching other climbers at Phrangna Beach. Would be there right now, but I've been hit with something in my guts.
Sullly, where were you? Michael and I went to Sunnyvale on the spur of the moment, and I looked for you to see if you wanted to join us (10:30 -1:30).

Took a strong young boulderer on a tour of Malibu today, and it totally kicked his ass. He's been climbing 9 years, and was telling me about sending 5.12 in approach shoes at the start of the day... hah! Age and route-wiring will often trump youth and enthusiasm, here's the tour I gave him:
Guerilla Drilla
Family Jewel
Delicious
Mr. Big
Kathmandu
He was worked after Family Jewel, and I had to climb the rest of them twice to clean cuz he couldn't make the anchors.
Perfect day at Arch Rock, mostly due to all the great people there today. And of course all the killer routes. I got in P1 of Gripper,P1 of Leanie Meanie, Midterm, all of New D, another lap on Leanie Meanie and finished with Blotto. Such a great day.
I am returning from a spectacular weekend in Owens River Gorge with my girl and my dog.
Got on Pumpkin, Caldera, Darshan, that 11c to the right of Orange Peel, that 11d next to Lava Haul, and many other great climbs I can't remember the names of!
Now I am in the Phoenix airport on my way back to North Carolina...what a wild time we live in!
Let us know!
