wow. lots has happened!!!!!

so this past weekend i had jason of norope.com in to clean lines and climb. we had a great time and cleaned a lot of stuff. too bad not much went!!! but there was one first ascent this weekend. i was able to send one of the slopey projects on the big bloc. its named "the pentagon" after the pentagon looking foot hold you start on. its a really fun line thats tall and beautiful. it looks like this


thats brannon working "the pentagon" a week or so ago. good times.

so after jason, scott, mike and i had our fill of climbing on friday, we went to daikoku for sushi and i about killed someone. we waited FOREVER for our food. granted it was really good, it just took an hour and a half to get. i forgive you daikoku, but dont let it happen again.

saturday morning jen and her friends jimmy and john came in from maryland and sean AKA niceporch came in from pennsylvania and we had a grand old time. so it was the four of them, me, jason, scott, and mike. WOW a posse for sure. so we warmed up for a while at tilted tree. jason got frustrated that his arete line wasnt clean and threw a fit (not really) and we decided to move on to something else. we looked at this arete and decided to clean/climb it. no worries. two sends and counting.....till jen fell and rolled her ankle. "im fine!!!!" she says as she tries to bear weight and falls. so we help jen around all day. she hung out and watched even with a broke ankle. later she went home to find out it was BROKEN. crap, what a trooper!

then sunday i didnt climb because my fingers were toast. i walked around for a while and took some pictures and i caught this one of drew on roundhouse:


great problem.

so that was my weekend. today i got out and cleaned off a new lip traverse, but i didnt get on it. it needs a little more cleaning and some people with gusto and balls to get on it. it doesnt look that hard, just kinda sketchy with the bad landing and all. but thats what makes it interesting!!!

anyways, hopefully get out there tomorrow....
