Just before the opening band comes on Location: the Gorge A few more people have arrived. - IMG 2022
Jeff gets excited Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Somebody hold him back. The crash pad is still in the crack with Chris (not for long, as Bryan decides it's a good idea to throw it at George while George is holding Bryan's camera. Which crashes to the ground and breaks. But is ultimately fixed.) - 270 G
Fathers' Day Location: Ouchita Lake, AR After our driving tour of the Ouchita Mountains and Lake and 1-hour jetski rental (woo!), we took a moment to pause, and appreciate our absent fathers. [Bryan is sorry for not calling.] - 105 0598 IMG
More flora Location: Outside Bryan's Apt - 10 01

And there he is Location: the Gorge It's kind of hard to hold a camera still while avoing flying elbows, but in the calm before March of the Pigs, I snapped a pic of Trent himself. - 103 0351 IMG

Videochat Location: Bryan's Apartment A hot meal and videoconferencing session. After this, who could pay for long distance? - 112 1216 IMG 2
Waiting to get into the park Location: Hueco Tanks office While the crowds at Hueco aren't huge, they only let 50 people go climbing there each day--thus the lines. Luckily, we had reservations for both camping and climbing. - PC230014 rotated

Ripple Location: Enchanted Rock State Park This is Jeff at the Base of Ripple, a classic 5.9 on the backside of the main dome. He's explaining to Bryan that the first clip is about 35 feet off the deck. That won't be a problem, will it? - 115 1573 IMG

Stick it where? Location: REI Redmond There's nothing like the feeling of wedging your hands into cracks... and then pulling up. - 105 0554 IMG
Bright and Early Location: Write Off Rock, Deception Crags Judging by the sun (and my watch) I'd say that we got here about 7. Yes, that's 7 AM. No wonder no one else is here yet. - 104 0468 IMG
On the road again... to NIN! Location: I90 east We're off to see NIN at the Gorge in George, WA. Two other interns helped us pay for gas and keep us upright in the mosh pit. - IMG 1992
Hong, unfurling Location: Hueco Tanks State Park Isn't "unfurling" a neat word? I also like "mendacity" and "inchoate." I blame Jeff. - 105 0576 IMG
I Like the Sun Location: We Did Rock, Deception Crags After climbing in the damp rain for the past two weeks, the bright sun was a welcome relief.
