Girls Trip Brazil

Ladies trip!
Not my ladies trip, but I'll live vicariously through some amazing women.
Climbing because it's my passion, not for my boyfriend, not for my husband, not because i get "dragged out" to the crag.
Enjoy.

Colette, thank you for rocking so hard!

Stone Fort, Rock Town, HP40

Climbing down south is amazing. 

We did spend a solid week doing nothing but waiting for the rain to stop. When it finally did...we got psyched!

Fantastic sunny days arrived after all this crap weather, bringing along comfy temps for us to shred our skin (and teeth) on southern sandstone.

I found myself a tough "little" project at Stone Fort. The first move is a full on jump for shorties( or anyone who is not 5.10), and lucky for me I SUCK at jumping and I'm 5.7. Somehow all my jumping turns into me launching myself backwards, sideways...pretty much any directions BUT upwards. "Coach PJ" promised to teach me how to actually propel myself upwards.

I'm gonna project the shit out of it

 It's been so great climbing down here. We made new friends, had some old friends come and join us in our adventure and hopefully we will continue enjoying this gorgeous weather all the way until it's time for us to go to Hueco.
I'm happy to be injury free this time around, and feel crazy lucky to be having this experience!
Stone Fort is rad, we went back to HP40, which was awesome, hit up RockTown( I think it's my favourite) and also went and saw some stuff at the Hospital Boulders. We didn't know our way around, so we didn't actually climb there but went on to climb at HP40 instead.

Rain,Rain, GO AWAY!

Since we got back from the three day Thanksgiving eating and board game binge, we got 2 days of climbing in NC, Rumbling Bald, and one whooping day at Stone Fort, TN. It's been raining none stop.

We are super lucky to have amazing, hospitable,rad friends, who have put us up, and have put up with us in the last few weeks. Thank you Anneli,Tommy, Julie and Scott so so much!
Hopefully the weather clears up and we can get on with this "climbing road trip"

November

We are a little over a week into our road trip and it is

 starting to feel real.

Two nights of wallmart "camping", a week of camping at Lago Linda in the Red, and now our friend put us up for a few nights in Chattanooga in her dope apartment. It's pretty incredible.

Climbing is awesome, Red is a pumpy bitch, but it's all good and we are making progress every day.

Jeremy and I spent 4 days climbing routes and now we made a small track to Tennessee to boulder with our friends Paul and Hillary on southern sandstone.

Dirty ass rope.

This is my first time down south not being injured. Finally! Bouldering here is stellar and somehow

feels much easier than sport climbing. It's all in my head of course!

ROAD TRIP 2013

It is finally settled.

We've quit our jobs, we've moved out our apartments(sort of) and we have our car ready(sort of)

The departure date was set on November 1st. but due to some vehicular difficulties we had to sit around and do nothing(wait) for over a week.

After dealing with mold and insurance companies, which are just as nasty, the car will be ready on Monday and we can finally depart on our adventure on Tuesday!

I can not wait.

Updates to follow!
