it's interesting all the familiar faces the road brings. time and time again personalities i've met before with a similar face or a slightly reminiscent voice. how we all are just about the same -even i'm the new familiarity of one situated in a separate time and place...
patricks are gregs, gregs are kevins, and kevins are aarons.
reminding us all of all of us; returning again to reach out and being reached in return. happiness is found in other people, with other people, and with it a quality to be shared again, if (even) for the first time.

so bishop...
the buttermilks. sharp.
the happys. fun.
the bouldering's different here, as it is in most areas (in relation to another type of rock/area). i'll probably get used to it by time i leave, which is by the end of this weekend. next stop joe's in utah, with my friend brian from boston and meet up with rachel who'll be in salt lake.
i've managed a bunch of 6s since day one, but that's the limit as of right now. i've tried a couple 8s, but gotten closer on more 9s; there's a few that i think i could manage with a another day or 2 of work (toxic avenger, the moonraker).
still, such a beautiful place.
the sierras, moonlit hot springs, blue skies, and lots of beautiful and varying rock. and a good crew of friends (mostly migrated from hueco, each with a different stop in between). adrian, praire, gary the scot, brian, rachel, james and dave the kiwis, dave, chris, helen... and lots and lots of wine.
