Officially Winter

With the snow falling like crazy, winter is finally here. With Nic back from D.C., the gym sessions have been fun and exciting with some of the harder problems being repeated and a good vibe goin' round.
2008 was a good year for me. I got out a lot of times but I didn't rope up nearly enough. Winter will be fun training for spring...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!!! ;) -jimmy

In the Family II

After stuffing ourselves twice with turkey Lisa, my sister and I went to the StoneWorks comp in Portland. The gym is small but bigger than the WRG and has a many steep wall as my sis found out. After punishing our fingers for three hours both Lisa and I took 2nd place in our categories! I in Junior, her in Youth A. Also a surprising but well earned finish for Colin of second place too! Go Colin! 3 of the six who came came away with second place finishes. The team is starting to gain experience but it will be a long and fun journey for the team through the coming years ahead.
In other news there might be a bouldering guide for those stuck in Olympia who are desperate enough to climb on some sub-prime boulders. The boulders are natural choss, er rock, and are all within a 30 to 50 min. drive from Olympia. Have a happy Christmas...
