we're not dead

Crusher ladies have been crushing...barely. It's hot as tits over here, and we're doing routes up in the Gunks, or sticking 5 fingers(I aim for 3) into man drilled pockets over at Kingston.

I love summer, and I don't mind the heat so much, but man does it suck to climb in this weather!

It's pretty frustrating to be sliding off and out of pretty boulder problems. oh well...it's a part of it...

I've been learning how to set a bit and it's pretty damn awesome. And HARD.

I think so far I like everything about route setting: watching boys set is pretty entertaining, cleaning holds is fun because I get to touch them all and pick my favorites, and exploring movement and being creative with plastic is pretty fun.
