Pretty funny reading the BV posts! I've done Fiddler once, but I've never felt confident to do Rock Warrior!!

bjj, I'm a long ways from RW status. I guess I have delusions of doing it in 'proper' style someday but we'll see.
I will shoot you a pm, am mobile right now for work so will pm later. Live off of 215 and Charleston between Charleston and Alta W of 215.

Been climbing around on the ceiling of 2 rooms in a log cabin the past 2 days, with the help of a ladder, and I'm worked! Belay neck, check, Big Toe reaching stance, check, side pulls off cracks in logs, check and check. Used my opposing pushing muscles to scrub all the beams down with Murphy's. Oh, that was after I vacuumed every square inch of wall and ceiling. Moved furniture, delicately cleaned paintings, and a humming bird nest, still in the branch. Sh-Shoulders are on fire. Elbows complaining, hands feel like claws and I have scrapes and hunks of hide missing from invisible nails.
Feels like I've done a good bit of climbing!
Sure feel ready for The City, but it won't be till May. :(
(The art work and antiques in this place were stunning.)

Got on a rather...humbling Joe Herbst 5.9 today, Black Track. Part of the sketch factor could have been me being less than trusting of my girlfriend belaying me (I weigh 185, she weighs 105). That and I'm a huge poon and still adjusting to the weird "do a few hand jams with some 3d stemming on steep shit" deal here. Got to get used to it though!
Either way, fun climb after work. Didn't suck, and wow the walk is short and easy.

Snow is melting fast here in NH, so this afternoon we went out to the local crag for our second day on the rock in this young season.
I took my new hammer (thank you, Taco Secret Santa "Gal!") and hand drilled a bolt for a new line that will go down this weekend. Two 25' slabs, both around .10 a/b lead to a slightly overhanging but jug filled 5.7 arête.

Well not today, but a bit of bouldering yesterday...this place had a bit of an approach. Discovered an AMAZING unclimbed boulder on my hike back to the car (but I'm keeping that one secret for now!).
And the best part was getting to spend the whole day with the world's sweetest pooch, the lovely Ms. Bean!
the usual car cluster...plus one very happy Bean...

Jack led his first route today. Nothing hard but it was on site, putting up his own draws and threading the rope on his own. PPD(pretty proud dad).
GC those are some great looking boulders and the peak looks good too.

Got out to Castle Hill. Love it there. Need more time to find problems I can actually do though.

Warmed up on Boulderdash
Then a bit of "low angle dummy dome slab".
It felt really easy since nothing was moving underfoot for once.
Then over to O'Kelly's
I'm to old for this sh#t,
and my fat fingers don't fit!
so I spotted and took pics.
I promised Triet a beer if he got up it and two if he got it clean, so I still owe him one more beer.
Jason struggled with the start, but he got the rest in good style.
Tran had enough sense to spectate and there was another Topoian lurking behind a water bottle.
I think he ran about three laps on this rig.

I climbed blind faith and sunset boulevard yesterday with my good buddy Abe. Looking forward to a good season of after work climbing in the canyon!
