Gold Bar Cont'd

It was kind of a bummer day yesterday hoping that Hayden's car would get fixed in time for some kind of rock-scaling session. But it eventually appeared that it would not come to fruition. But as fate would have a dear friend of mine and monster in the alpine environment, Graham Zimmerman came to the rescue. Graham was psyched on pulling some granite and the fact that we had not kicked it since the days of dirt-bagging in Australia, so that made it a win win, fo sho. We got up there pretty late but climbed some cool aesthetic warm ups and then I climbed this rad techy crimp problem 'Water V7'. Then went and tried this super amazing problem called 'The Rubik's Cube V9', I did all the moves really quickly despite the heat and then fell near the end from the start. I am super psyched on trying it again. It was a rad day that was salvaged from the glooms of a auto bummer and any day spent with Mr. Zimmerman is a good one. Hopefully more climbing in the future.

Hey, so glad the climbing is going well. I am sure you are getting stronger and stronger is prep for the big trip ahead. Too bad about car trouble... Thank goodness the down times don't last. I am sure the sun will be shining soon. In the meantime, best of thoughts and energy sent your way.
