Greetings from old Kentucky

ALTHOUGH it is raining very hard right this moment, yesterday was an awesome day of climbing. Atma and I drove down here to the Red River Gorge after I got done with work on Sunday night. After 12 hours of driving and a few of napping, we pulled into Miguel's and quickly decided to go up to the roadside crag and do some climbing. I climbed a 9 with no problems, and the hopped on Ro Sham Po, a super classic 5.12a. I took a fall at the crux, and one more a little higher up. Not a bad first day.

Yeterday we met up with a bunch of the St. Lawrence kids, and headed off early to Muir Valley. Ended up getting pn 7 climbs, ranging from 5.9 to 12a. Some of the more fun climbs we did were Getting Lucky in Kentucky (5.10b), Air-ride Equipped (5.11a), Mamma Cindy (5.11c), and another 5.12a. Mamma Cindy and Air-ride Equipped were probable my favorite.

Today is wet, so we are resting, but tomarrow we are planning on going to the Military Wall. Woo-hoo Kentucky!
