Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles

Finally, a full blog entry again!  But oh no, it’s another one of those climbing entries!

Saturday was a day in the Granite Dells, and Sunday was a day in the Promised Land!  I probably should have kept it to one day, but I did two.

Geordie & Matt showed up on Saturday and we set out into the Granite Dells for a few climbs.  Unfortunately Matt didn’t get Andy’s shoes Saturday morning, and nothing we had fit him.  We tried, and the shoes were too tight.  Tight shoes for climbing are good, but super tight doesn’t lead to a good time.  So Matt didn’t get to climb.  Sorry Matt, next time!

We hit the Time Zone wall, Perfect Idiot, and then one climb on Thor’s Wall (can’t remember the name).  Gotta say, Geordie is a great climber!

Here’s the whole gallery from this weekend, including our time in the Promised Land yesterday.

As you can see, the climbs in the Promised Land were great yesterday.  I only did two climbs.  Tired, very tired.  And my left arm locks up pretty quick on these arm heavy climbs.  Ah well, something to work on still.

Andy & Geordie did some amazing climbs.  Andy is getting really good an confident with leading now.  Geordie is clearly comfy with leads.  And Brooke had some amazing climbs too!

Overall, a great weekend.  Now it’s back to reality, interviews, and some decisions about the Phoenix job.
