Its been a while but preparing for the trip and travelling have made it hard to write a blog post.
The movement on the rock here in "Hueco Tanks" is just to good to do anything else but climb... 3D climbing, toe hooks, knee bars, 360's....
Because it is our second time here, we know the drill: start out by renting a car for a day, scout for a reasonably priced van to buy, battle for the price (this is Nat's job, she actually got the price down by 500 dollars!),get the paperwork done, registration and insurance, go climbing;....
First 2 weeks we had to addapt to the steep terrain, and because i was in pretty awefull shape it took me 3 weeks to actually feel a bit fit.
The first good problems i sent last week are: "The power of silence" V10, "Full Service" V10, "Theatre of the absurd" V10, and the cherry on top: "Loaded direct" V12 a boulder i was working on last trip but couldnt finish.
Nat is trying loaded V10 to the left, hopefully will go down after the next few days of bad weather... heres nat making a quick send of mc bain V8...
Background: Full Service is the boulder that John Sherman used as the standard for the V10 grade on his grading scale. It's a 15 move steep overhang, and a historical must-do for anyone who can boulder that range.
