Hey y'all, it's been a while. I've taken to Facebook for the micro-updates that apparently take the place of 90% of my LJ posts. Find me on the FB if you want in.
I picked up a new point & shoot, it seems to work just fine.
Ouray was amazing. One day of skiing at Telluride, and 3 days of ice climbing. I got up a beat-out WI5 on toprope, and led my first route on ice - a short WI3. There was a very tense moment placing the 4th screw at a vertical section with a strenuous stance, my feet 5 feet above my last screw :) ( pics )
I've got a rope and a rack, two puffy jackets, two helmets, a camera, some gifts, a boarding pass and a car rental reservation, and 3 full days to go climbing and camping in Oklahoma with Ashley. I'm excited :)
