On Saturday I took a trip to Pway. We went to blair woods and crushed on five boulders. I threw my self at Crystal Method V8 and got some progress on it, and Expanding Man V9, I almost hit the dyno but couldn't hold the swing on only my right hand. I sent The Rose V7 second try.
I took a pretty big fall from a top out on the Rainforest Boulder flat on my back, but luckily I survived and continued to climb. After the fall we got on Uncle Climax V9 and Sam, Josh and I all got hung up on the same move.

Turkey Day
Coming up soon we have my favorite holiday of the year.
A holiday devoted to the promotion of American obesity, oh yes and giving thanks of corse. I love thanksgiving more then I would like to admit, you get a good, healthy dose of all my favorite parts of a family gathering: extended periods of time spent catching up with family and friends, the occasional drunk relative, and so much food that it hurts.
Although I truly love the holiday I have a few strong quarrels with the way the celebrations are held; no not the celebrations the rationalizations of the celebrations. For instance the idea that the way to give thanks for an object such as food is to over use it. In most cultures such an event is celebrated by fasting, the idea behind this form of celebration is that you will better understand how it feels to live without the substance; helping you to better appreciate its presence of it in your daily life. I don't by any means mean to spew my hippy views at you, but there are people around the world who would quite literally die for a bite of the stuffing that you are forcing your self to have a seventh serving of, so this year please consider what over eating means to those who cant even under eat. Give thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving Guys

Say Whaaa?
So over the long weekend I had the pleasure of hitting up the Rockspot for an ABS comp. I really gotta give the setters and comp runners some serious props. The comp ran smoother then any other I have attended this season thus far, this may be because of the lack of finals, but nonetheless it was refreshing.
When I showed up I skimmed the problems as is my custom, and it struck me that they were on the easy side. This puzzled me. As competitors rolled in, the reason was becoming clear to me, the comp was mostly filled with youths, youngsters, chillins. As the comp progressed I was able to pocket some pretty high ranking climbs in the mid to low forties.
I wasn't able to stay for awards (shame on me) but according to my coach, Steve Buck, I pulled through with around 19000 points, the climber below me in A (ages 15-16) had only 5000 points, this is a once in a season situation and I treasured it.
Thanks to all that came out to the comp and see you next Saturday at the BRG

New and improved camera
On Sunday I purchased a Nikon D3100. This is a wonderful new model Nikon released in early September. D3100 employs Nikon's latest breakthrough technology to deliver superb results. My absolute favorite feature of my the D3100 is byfar the 1080p HD video camera. I have only had a few chances to test its true potential, but in a "lab test" today at Metro, it seemed to exceed my expectations.
I hope to use the camera to its fullest and will post pictures regularly
