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.
