penitente canyon and "noodle arms"

i found a good read on a writer's climbing adventures in colorado. kudos to msnbc.com for the highlights. the article makes reference to someone getting the nickname "noodle arms" during an intro climbing course. funny.

finally, some rock! i'm heading out to penitente canyon tomorrow with my friend erik. the plan is to hike and sport climb for two days. we'll leave from breckenridge in the late morning and return on tuesday evening. i'll take my nikon d70 camera and put together a brief photo essay. you can see some of my photo work here: www.davidmejias.com

any other climbing newbies out there reading this? i'm curious.
