i've recently discovered the intoxication that is rock climbing. what follows is a collection of random thoughts, experiences and images related to my newbie rock climbing adventures. note: climbing is a dangerous activity. these are only my opinions and shouldn't be substituted for good sense and education. climb safely and at your own risk.

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.
