November

Miles off of Midnite, Circuit Comp finals!, Chunk of Granite.

November has been filled with lots of homewrk, writing labs and taking exams. Though the weekends have been filled with other endeavors. Thanks to Miles, I've been able to get out to gold bar a handful of times this fall. I've hit the lip of green goblin a couple times and messed around on Haga for a little bit. Then Jessie showed us Midnite and the Index boulders, they were damp but they are of high quality. Can't wait for spring!

I've also been doing a lot of comps too. Most recent being the Circuit's PBR. The circuit always sets to my strengths and this year was no different. I placed 6th in qualies to make fianls!!!!! Fianlly, a real finals. Lisa, as always, also qualified! Team Chulich! The gym had lights set up and put on a good show. Problem 1 was doable, 2 isnane, 3 hard, 4 fun. I got crushed but had a blast and was just psyched to make it. Hopefully they will take more to finals next year. The red point problems were hands down the funnest I've ever tried in a comp. They were straight forward no trickery 'you can send in 4 goes'. Oh, and very few crimps and lots of Compression!!!!! I'm looking forward to next fall and the BEST comp in the NW!

Back around Olympia I checked out the boulder chase found around Waddle Creek. Short but definitely worth the effort to clean it up. Also, that big chunk was found by a near by gate so there should be some more boulders found over Christmas Break! I also have two summer vid projects, Summer Sendage and 'The Other Boulders'. The first being all the classics of Thurston County being filmed and put together nicely. The later being a compilation of all the boulders Miles has found outside of Gold Bar and Leavenworth. But until Christmas it is finals and then some good old time sessions with Kevin and the gang at the Warehouse before the 2012 climbing season...
