Bishop was awesome and I’m really glad we went. Shoulder is feeling better everyday! On the way we stopped at our friend’s house in Davis to wait out the traffic and snack a little, and we started pondering the coming storm that would surely shut down the sierras. I was having second thoughts and kinda just wanted to bail, but Jason squashed those ideas and we sacked up and went anyway. While I was there I managed to snag a repeat of Evilution to the lip! Well, it’s half a climb at least. I also got to finally meet and hang with Chris Webb Parsons who is climbing super strong and had a really similar surgery just a couple months before me! It’s inspireing to see Chris’s progress and it seems like I’m on the right track with my training! There are still a few boulders besides Bubba Gump that I’m psyched to return for… before the spring!
Chikity-check the Flickr set, Phu!
I also went to the tradeshow but I somehow didn’t take one single picture or video… probably for the best. Those things are better forgotten anyway.
I have a series of shoe demos for 5.10 at the Planet Granite Gyms next week- Monday at 6pm at Belmont, Wednesday at Sunnyvale and Thursday at PG SF. If you’re near any of those places and want to come check out some new 5.10s… come one down!
Also this weekend I plan on finalizing travel plans to the Hueco Rock Rodeo and the Red Rock Rendezvous! Psyched to get to both event a few days early and get some climbing in.
Red Rocks blog post coming later today… finally learned how to compress 1280X720P for Vimeo without loosing too much Quality but keeping it under 500 MB… It’s hard when the vid is 8 mins long… screw iMovie! I need to learn to edit with FCP! Later
