ABS Regionals for the climbing team went pretty darn well this past weekend, of the 11 kids on the team who went, 7 made it to finals! Some highlights are, Victoria 1, Lisa 2, Eric 3 and Ian 4. Then the following day Lisa, Jimmy, Ryan and I headed over to the new Vertical Club/World bouldering gym in Tacoma which is, ah, SICK! The place has walls that stop around 20 feet if you go to the very top. They have 99% new holds, ranging from So Ill to Rockcandy. The holds were so new that you would slip off of them (which made for some entertaining falls by the way). I was feeling good and managed to send everything I tried with a few exceptions. My modified training regiment for Bishop is working. Oh, and I'm heading south for spring break to go to Bishop for(as of now) approximately 12 days of climbing with a bunch of climbers from SPSCC, mainly Jimmy and Ryan. They did really well at VCT. They just need some bomber calluses and some stamina, but 12 days we figure 2 days per area, Happies, Buttermilks, Druids and a little Owen River Gorge thrown in. My only (hopefull) goal is to send a V10 and 5.13a this trip, which I think is in my realm. Other than that I want to just send as many classics as possible and help scout out problems for Jimmy and Ryan and the others. It should a fun/painful 12 days. Till then, see ya crankin' in the gym...
Maybe a 2010 tick list soon but my main goal is to push myself to my absolute limits and be both #1 in routes and boulders on 8a for Olympia, so Dom, Look out! -jimmy
