WEEEEEEEEE!!!! (THUD)

Tuesday Castlewood Sessions. It's nice to be doing them again and the wood is looking GOOD!

It's also getting a little chilly. Hiking in a beanie? This is novel!

Andrew was psyched. At this point he had some sort of seizure and started talking like a pioneer. "Thars Bouldars in dem dere hills!" he exclaimed.

We started out on nine-lives arete. Super fun. Due to my forgetful tendencies, we had to re-work beta! Nice. I took a stupid fall into the tree and Andrew peeled from the lip.

Dave and Ben cruised it. So far, off to a good start.

Ben catching the choss-bug and attempting variations on established problems.

In attempt to get everyone psyched on Double Dick Dyno I went for it and had no problems until a pebble broke while I was attempting to top out. That is a long fall. Here is what Ben's face likely did while watching my airy winger.

Luckily the clowns were undeterred. Ben gave it hell, but was less than inspired by the big moves.

Dave brought some swagger and pulled it off pretty quickly. No winger even!

I got back on it and re-sent as well before we headed up to Scary Monsters. No photos of that leg due to darkness.

Of course we had the mini-epic to get out. Leaving that side of the canyon is never easy.

Good times!
