BUCKABROTHERBILL

[song: somebody told me by the killers]

quick note:

first of all, i've been able to climb with 'famous' climbers here at the tanks and it's been fun. they're stronger than me, of course, but above that they are really just down to earth people (most, at least) who love rock climbing... and they also think i'm really funny.

anyway...

stuck the high sloper on black mamba (the 2nd/hard move) from the start, but my lower hand came screaming off: NO!! next day for sure.

i did manage to do fern roof completely clean 2nd go of the day. it felt great! (picture shows me before the bump move with my left hand, before the dyno to the pointy looking jug over the lip off the heel). [you can find a video on vimeo of some guy doing it close to the same way i do (it's at about the 3 minute mark in the video... with good footage of other hueco problems, too)]


super psyched!


good luck to you, dear reader, wherever you are, with whatever you're doing!
