Kentucky!


I have made it to Kentucky, my last stop.  I will be on my way home Nov. 6.  In the mean time I have plenty of climbing to do.  Yesterday, the weather was quite poor, so the crew and I decided to grocery shop and hang around the cabin.  A lot of banter was talked, gear was discussed, and many games played.  All in all, I had a mighty fine rest day.
Today, the forecast was promising!  But … the rain came and then snow followed.  We did get some climbing in early today before the weather came.  We climbed at Solar Collector and after climbing Buddha Hole to warm up I onsighted a 12b called Blue Eyed Honky Jesus.  This was a struggle!  I was also rope gunning for the crew and unfortunately did not click with the climb.  I had a hard time climbing the sequences and was clearly fighting and prevailed in the end.  After Blue Eyed Honky Jesus I climbed a route I had climbed years ago, called Supafly and after climbing faster than the speed of pump I repeated this climb in one try. 
I have decided to add a project to my list, Golden Boy.  I climbed it once and figured out a very good sequence.  It is a very sustained climb and will require some serious fitness!  I’m psyched to get to it.  Now I'm going to wait for better temps and less humidity.
Pictures soon!
