So by the way, Easter weekend (April 2nd-4th) I, along with my friends JJ and Manuel, went to Hueco Tanks in El Paso Texas.
Yeah. it was a short trip, but it was definitely worth it!
We couldn't stay longer because of work/school/etc. but this is the time to go before it gets too hot...so we just did it.
left early friday and flew back 2am sunday night. i had a test early monday morning too hahah
Got to see a bunch of sweet classics, See Spot Run V6, T-Bone Shuffle V4, Nobody Here Gets Out Alive V2, Power Of Silence V10 (recently sent by Ashima who's only 8 years old.) 3D V7, Esperanza V14...to name a few.
The atmosphere was so awesome. It was completely dead silent. You could hear people whispering in their tents from 50 feet away.
The stars were blinding at night. It was fantastic!
As for sends, I personally didn't get much to work on for lack of time. But I got to flash T-bone shuffle V4, which was a super awesome problem.
We had 20 minutes left before we had to leave to catch a plane home on sunday, and I really really wanted to try 3D V7 next to Alma Blanca V13.
So I worked on it, it was pretty rough! But I'm very happy to say that I linked it to two different sections, The only move I couldn't get was a weird cross move to an undercling jug. I was touching it but we ran out of time...
If only i had an extra day to try it! but oh well. I'm still happy, it was a really fun trip.
Now I have returned and am back in business...So much work to do! It was really nice to escape everything for a weekend. I kinda forgot i existed. haha.
I went to the gunks on monday night for 3 hours, didn't get to send anything new, but I am proud to say that I got the first two opening moves on Karajo V11! I got video of it too...Now I'm obsessing over getting back to the gunks to work on it some more...It's definitely a milestone boulder for me, that top-out is crazy scary to me.
Well first i better get New Pair of Glasses V7 done...and then I'll get the remaining 3 extension moves...My shoulders are still very sore.
Lots of work to do! Maybe I'll post some video later.
