Moab Day Two: The day of Laughingness

Day two dawned cloudless, sunny, and psyche filled. The photo below is just a random sample of the excitement felt amongst the crew.
Diggs, Asher, Flann, Elizabeth, and Alexis all showed up in the early morning and after some coffee and breakfast were READY FOR SENDING!!!


We started out at the Black Top boulder for warming up and then headed down to the silly wabbit arete where a few battles occurred...
This thing is definitely not V3, but it saw quite a few sends from the crew anyway.
From there it was on to Circus Trick where the girl squad had strong showings. Here, the Flannimal is rehabilitating that finger in STYLE.
Asher and I got interested in the Phantom Fighter Dyno, but really just did a bunch of rock jumping-off. Not sending.
Red point of the trip for me was probably balanced stick brush to single flip to balanced stick brush. Proud.
As circus trick wound down, Elizabeth Flashed Split decision. NICE!
We decided the day wasn't quite over yet, and all headed over to the Basketball Diaries boulder. Below is Alexis sending the slopey goodness of the boulder's namesake line.
This was old business for Rich who did the crux 3 FREAKING TIMES in the SAME BURN before sticking the jug and pulling through to the topout! Hard Fought Send!
Unfortunately, "Army of Darkness" was covered in snow, so my proj was off the list. IHowever, as I brushed snow off the top hoping for a dry topout the following day, Asher became interested in the V10 extension to Basketball Diaries called "Return of the Jedi". Lots of try hard yielded no sends unfortunately.
Once we were all tired and satisfied with our day we gave in to our growling stomachs and headed back to camp and town for food.


End Day Two. Up next, day three. The day of sendingness.

Sorry my comments are not up to par lately.

The blog has felt like more of a chore lately than something that is fun.

I will try to make the next Moab post more interesting.

I'm sure both of you that read this are rolling your eyes!
