In order to visit North Mountain we had to watch the orientation video. That's me in the back sleeping with the sunglasses on. I love the fact that no matter where the camera is, Mark turns to the lens and cracks a smile. Here we are trying Daily Dick Dose V7 with the silly toe hook drop knee beta. Mark started using the heel hook gaston beta which we later found out is probably easier. None of us got it though. Thanks again to Takako for the photos.
This day sucked so bad I'm not even going to talk about it... I guess Carlsbad wasn't really a rest day for my weak ass since walking 2 miles underground for several hours wasn't exactly the same as lying in bed with a beer and watching cagefighting in your underwear.

More of my m.o. ... either flash it or forget it. I guess v6 or v7 is pretty ambitious given the fact that anything I've ever sent at those grades had been worked on for weeks, months, or years. So I shouldn't expect to just show up and send those guys. Sort of sucks though because classics abound in the v6-v7 range.
4 point day... yikes! Clearly out of gas. No amount of caffeine or creatine was going to revive my mitochondria or kick start my Krebs cycle on this day. Starting to wish I never came here because everything else with the exception of Bishop and Font is beginning to look like choss. I'm sure that's a common side-effect of Hueco and I hope it wears off once I depart.
Yusuke climbs into heaven...

Thanks for the encouragement on the photos. I'm just guessing they don't sell wide angle lenses for $150 at costco though....
I need to get down to Hueco so bad though. It was so close to Phoenix and I only went once and had many 3-5 point days. The grades weren't stiff or sandbagged to me (that would be J-trees claim) it's just that there is so much good stuff to get on it's overwhelming. Now onto a 60 degree day in Maryland tomorrow.
You always choose very appropriate photos. I liked the montage you did for Daily Dose very much but where are you?
