relaxing and bouldering in joe's valley
my friend jared, his friend thomas, and i decided to drive out to joe's valley over the thanksgiving break. after a long work-filled fall, we all needed a little climbing vacation. we escaped on wednesday night and returned on sunday. it had been two weeks since i had done anything resembling rock climbing so i knew i'd be rusty. and i was. one of the great things about climbing road trips however is that it feels like you progressively improve with each passing day; you get more comfortable with the rock, the weather, your partners, and you start to relax. i did my first v4 on this trip. felt pretty good. here are some photos of luna, a boulder climber i happened on while in the valley.

Its always great to go on a climbing trip on thanksgiving break we do it every year, its the only time we really get to climb outdoors though so we have to make do with indoor climbing walls the rest of the year.
Heya,
Just read your complete blog while shepherding a corporate meeting in San Francisco. Coincidentally, I've been climbing since about the same time you have and am about your age also, so it's been a lot of fun reading your posts. Just wanted to give you a shout out and tell you to keep the dreaded pump at bay, go with the flow and don't let the winter blues get you down.

Just came across your blog on a goggle search while researching a 4-month bouldering trip.....
Congrats on the first V4!
