Autobody

Had another fun day in the boulders today. Went to try climb the Problem "Auto-Body" or "Fixing the Car" (there seems to be some debate over the name) I worked out all the moves pretty quickly then got super psyched to send it. So psyched that Thomasina accused me of being overconfident and told me not to jinx myself... I'll let the video show you what happened next...




So maybe I was a little overconfident... it still all worked out in the end.

After that brad sent the ever popular "Easy in an Easy Chair".

Then I was a belay slave for Thomo for a little while while she tried "Smell the Glove" which is what Ben called "Silent Menace" after he re-climbed it after the crucial starting hold (that you have to jump to) broke off. It was 5.14a pre hold breakage. Now its pretty crazy. Thomo gets credit for trying the jump start over a big drop though, i was scared just belaying.




Anyway its midnight and i am tired so this entry is being cut short...HEY LOOK! its brad trying "Viper" v5

Oh! One more thing! I did not see MATT LUCAS in the boulders today. Did you know MATT LUCAS used to work in film and is now studying computer science?!

  1. I don't know if there is a debate over the name. The first assentionist named it Autobody and the guide book author wrote some other name. Revised history some might say. Oh and if you look hard you might see Matt Lucas in the boulders on Wednesday... Maybe even his madeup girlfriend.
