Bombs away Jefe!
Thanks for the stoke, looks awesome.
We've had sooooooo much rain this winter. Too many plastiqué seshes lately, hoping for some high pressure soon.

Looks like I'll carpet bomb another page!
A visit to my favorite boulder garden, where it all began.
Fine grained granite, flat landings, history, five star problems, serene setting.
This area is very special to many people. Countless climbers learned basic movement here, it is a great teacher.
Visiting now, twenty years since my heyday, is a trip through time...where engrams and names and lighting and smells and textures wash over me...run through me, slap me in the face.
If there is one single place I've left more DNA, more heart, more focus, exploded brain cells, fried tips, bruised heels, failures, solitary victories, group energy, first ascents, dogs long past, screams in the forest, sunsets on a slab, friendships...
It's Groom Creek, my favorite boulders.

Yow, Joe Cupps sighting!!! Do you guys hang with him often, Yanqui? Man he's been breaking his bones for decades, one time he broke his leg giving Clean Dan the tour in Vedauwoo.
What about his and my buddy, John Wilke? I know he has a place in Prescott. Those guys are members of the team that brought you Spectreman in. Vedauwoo.... Especially John.

Joe and I were roommates for a year in graduate school back in 1988. Hooked up again for the first time in almost 30 years last January in Red Rocks. This year he was gonna meet me in Frey but then he broke his collar bone skiing three days before the flight. Since there was no refund on the tickets he came three weeks later straight to Balcarce. So it's the second time in 30 years, but he says he's coming back for more next year.

So I just discovered this thread. But I'm kind of confused... Like did you guys forget to pack your ropes or something? I mean, it looks like you're doing climbing moves, but on the ground.
I remember that happening once. Got to the base of the route and unpacked, and then we're looking at each other like "But I thought you were bringing the rope."
It was too far to go back, so we didn't know what to do. In the end we drank all the beers and practiced a few climbing moves on this rock that was near the base of the real climbing.
Is that what happened to you guys?
