BUmmer

So I competed in Chalk-Up, the local comp here Baylor University. The good news is that I won... the bad news is that in the process I pulled a pulley in my left pinkie finger. Luckily it's not too bad, but it is bad enough that I can't climb for a while. I'm just going to tape it up and climb next weekend but until then I'm off it.

This weekend was pretty fun. I had a mandatory camping trip for our backpacking class. We went to Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose. We left to go there a little early to check out big rocks park...Contrary to the name, the rocks aren't that big. I found one slabby V0 and that was it. Dinosaur Valley however has a lot more climbing possibilities but since it was a backpacking trip for school I didn't get to really scope anything. Looks cool though. Despite not climbing I had a lot of fun. The girls got attacked by a racoon. I slept in the "guys camp" so I got to hear the story the next morning. Our new backpacks worked out well and we had a good time.

Nolan River Again

Last time I went to Nolan River I didn't get to stay long. This time I went with Marty and a friend from baylor named Jake. This time I actually got on something besides a V2. I got on and onsighted three V8s. Pretty psyched so I got on Ryan Sewell's line, Insomnia 8a+. I got all the moves except the dyno and I'll be going back soon to work on it more. Here's a pic.

Check it out!

So tomorrow I am going to Big Rocks Park. Pretty excited because I don't think anyone has climbed there before. Should be cool.

Ok...

So the comp went way better than I thought. My friend Heather and I drove down and stayed at Heather's house. Then we went to the comp. There were kids there that were pulling some sick moves. I signed for men's open. It was a lot of fun and I actually won. I was deffinately not on my game though. I'll have to step it up for Frisco...here's some pics.

Well...

I am officially signed up for ABS. The first comp is in a week from today. Pretty nervous. I've done plenty of comps but it's been a few years now on the collegiate circuit and I know most of the people who are going to be there. I have no idea who will be in houston.
