Who Turned Up The Suck???

Newlin.


Newlin apparently has stronger gravity on October 16 than anywhere else on the planet. T.J. and I had the misfortune of learning this first hand.
After battling the warm up boulder in shaky, thrutchy style, we went on to have our asses handed to us the rest of the day.


We both got on and tried old guard, and the thing to the right for quite a while before figuring out workable beta. Then, I was too tired to do it and T.J. had other aims. Double Mild Weak Sauce.
T.J. spent some time with Jaques Cousteau and was getting very close to sticking the big move before tearing holes in his fingers and feeling too sore and non-motivated to try more. We ended up going to Megaladon to try out the moves and got bouted there as well.
This photo pretty much sums it up. Staring at the boulders wondering why they are keeping their secrets today. Maybe getting reacquainted with the holds and style was necessary?


Who knows. The good news is we still had fun and there are plenty of days of Newlin ahead. SENDS COMING SOON!!!!
