Monday was the three month anniversary of my roadtrip. the weather was beautiful – warm with no wind. I really like it here, because of both the style of climbing and the people that i’ve met. to climb in joshua tree, you have to relax about grades – it’s friction climbing and some people find it very challenging, call it a sandbag, and leave. The people who stay are just great
the weekend was filled with snow, so there was no climbing action. on saturday i found myself in the back of an SUV full of californians, passing a bottle of johnnie walker red and talking. Almost all of the people that i have met in joshua tree i would like to stay in touch with.
Last night was the full moon – another reason i’m in joshua tree. it was easy to convince people to go climbing, and i got a great night session in on a supposed rest day. i was very pleased with my session since i completed two problems that i found difficult on my first day here.
