Change Up - High and Away

This is like a planet earth special just waiting to happen. I can just hear the narration in one of those really smart-sounding British accents that can make even Kayaking seem important:


One of the rare times this natural wonder has been caught on film!

The bouldering troglodyte has ventured to the cliffs in search of terror and sewing machine leg! After tying in his safety string, and directing his friends what to do with his remains, he ventures forth onto the stone.
However, after ascending more than 17 feet, the degenerates arms grow tired and his legs weary.

It seems doom is imminent.

Clearly the more cliff-savvy female of the species has snagged this male. All he can do is wait for death's cold embrace.
But WAIT! He somehow pulls through the sloping crimp crux and escapes to a "creative" rest on a nearby ledge! Ahh, but the female will not give up so easily!
She begins the pursuit displaying adept technique that evolution has honed over millions of years for just such a situation.
The female quickly destroys and consumes the boulderer's now-fragile ego.

She continues to the top knowing that none of her surrounding climbers can reach her there and she can safely revel in her victory.
Seriously though, a Sunday spent in C-wood top roping on some of the moderates around the grocery store walls was a nice change of pace. Rich and I struggled while Diggs, Katie, and Marcelo crushed.


Hope to see everyone at the comp. in Vedauwoo tomorrow! Check lower post for info!
