Joe and I both sent our long term projects this week! I did the my second 8a Resurrection, probably my hardest route yet, and Joe completed the FA of his half bolted, link-up The Re-Up, completing his third 9a. We’ve been in Hurricane for three months now and our time is quickly coming to a close. I would like to jump on at least one more hard route before I leave on the 15^th, but I managed to strain some muscles in my hand on my final Resurrection attempt. It’s funny because I NEVER push it when it comes to tweaky fingers, ect. And my own going joke with myself is that sure I never get injured, but I never really get stronger either. So I guess I just had to go for it, and at least I got injured for the sake of doing something hard. Fuck it. I’m resting until Mon. then I’ll play it by ear. Until then it’s Yoga, biking, running, reading, writing and filming. Not so bad really. Oh yeah, and I’m going to Belize bitches!!!

Here are some Keith shots of Lauren and I from a few weeks ago at Joe’s Valley. That place is sick, if I didn’t work on my stupid ass project for so long I might have actually done some of the boulder problems pictured below.
