Remember Berthoud and Buddah Caves?

Well, guess what? They're still there!

This past Saturday, I had the great pleasure of sneaking out of work early and heading up to everyone's favorite choss pile; Castlewood Canyon! I met up with Shawn, Alexis, and Elizabeth who all had psyche levels running high, and their game faces on! We warmed up at Buddha cave with everyone making quick ascents of the usual. EVERYONE flashed Buddha. PROUD.

Elizabeth make quick work of Phillips Problem V4 and Alexis worked moves on a tougher variation while Shawn and I messed with an obscure v5.

From there, it was up to Berthoud Canal. Alexis was making good progress, and Elizabeth came EXTREMELY close to sticking the big move on link.

When I say EXTREMELY, I mean she was all over it but couldn't contain that crazy swing. She'll be sending next time for sure!

We also messed with After Berthoud V8, and Placenta V6 with Shawn pulling a nice last go send of the latter. The rest of us pulled roof moves until we were totally wiped out.

Nice job Shawn!

I pulled down on an old project (Berthoud Hips) but by the time Beta was remembered, the core was giving up.

Ahh well. Id be psyched to go back sometime soon! I like berthoud a lot and it was a beautiful session of T-Shirt climbing in the middle of winter. PSYCHED!!!

Speaking of excitement...This weekend is MOAB!!!!!! We leave tomorrow morning, and climb through early next week! All are invited and all will enjoy. Hope to see you out there!
