Climbing

Final Hueco trip of the year…

Went out to Hueco a couple weeks ago to settle some scores. We both sent our projects and then found a new one. =) We went with our good buddy Stu (who is an absolute riot and joy to hang out with) and had a wonderful time. The pictures are kind of grainy just bc we FORGOT our camera so Stu used his cell. Only 2 weeks until our annual Bishop, CA trip! We are really looking forward to it. Hope everyone is well! Love to all!

Working my problem - Mexican Chicken V6
This is one of the funnest ones in the park
The crux for me was the ending. I fell 3 times previously at the very last holds and so I was absolutely determined to get it this time...
And I did!!
Woo hoo!
Tommy working the roof of Chicken
Such good moves!

 

Stu started working it with us...the beginning is tricky
Lots of heels...
New project for both Tommy and I - Rudy V7
It's such a hard problem - lots of compression and really not my style
Stu and Tommy hangin' out - No Stu is not a sailor...he got that hat as a free gift from Moosejaw and was wearing it all over the place. It made everyone laugh. =)
Crossing the damn to get to Choir Boys Light
Look at how cool this rock is!! Workin on Choir Boys Light V7 - I couldn't even get off the ground. Ha!
Tommy made it the farthest out of all of us...
Second day on - He didn't get it the first day...but owned it on this one!! Woooo!

 

This pic gives you some perspective of how big these rocks are...
Getting over the lip
Second day for Stu
Second day working Rudy
I got farther this time
Soooo hard...
Stu working on Lobster Claw V5 - He sent it the day we left. Good job Stuart!
