Climbing season has arrived....

I got out to the Gunks today after a long winter of hibernating. (A.K.A getting the new house unpacked and looking like a home.) This is probably the earliest in the season that I've ever climbed, and why didn't I start this early before is a mystery to me. I only got three climbs in today, I was taking it easy. Miss Baily (in honor of St. Patrick's day) Middle Earth ( A Gunks regular for me) and Ant Line ( A new project). I only lead pitch 1 and 3 of Miss baily, cause I freaked out at the fact that pitch 2 had minimal protection on a face climb. Any way the roof of Miss Baily was solid and I took it like a champ.

Next we were on the Middle Earth. Did it, done it, got the ticket stub except for this time I mixed it up a little. In stead of going off to the left of the roof and taking the actually route, I went straight up and over the roof. Once again proving that Sean likes to hang on roofs.

Ants Line was a new challenge for me. A 5.9- that was sustained and had a really nice crack with good hand/finger jams. Too bad I couldn't complete it without falling. Douh!!!!!!!!!

It's a shame more people weren't out today, oh yeah they were WORKING....

I'm Back....

It's been quite a while since I last posted due to the holidays and moving into the new house. We finally closed on the house January 5th and we've been officially living here for fifteen days. The first week was the hardest because I was still working and had to try and unpack in the small amount of time I had before and after work. It all got better once the sixteenth rolled around which was not only the first day of my vacation but Autumn's birthday as well.
