Back at it
Summer is now officially over and the Hueco Tanks trips have started back up. Paul is eager (to say the least!) to get back on Slashface, having fallen off the top of it last spring on our final trip of the season.
Here are some glimpses of our Hueco “pre-season.”
I sent this pic to my parents and siblings with the caption, “Whoever can guess what’s new in this photo is ultimate winner of the year.” My mom guessed correctly immediately – WE’RE NOT CARRYING ANY KIDS!!!!!
After 6 years of kid-hauling, I’m wondering if my v-ability will spontaneously jump three grades, haha. Figured I’d test out this theory on Revenge of the Choir Boys, v9.
I can do all the moves except 1 on this burly beast of a climb. Woo!
It’s been a rainy fall here in the southwest. Check out these skies. Thunderstorm approaching fast.
Paul figures out new beta on Fat Apache Jogger, v8…
…making this climb actually fun now.
Back at it on Slashface, v13
The one drawback to the Hueco pre-season, warm temps and soft skin

The kids have really taken to climbing.
Can’t seem to get enough of it, shown here climbing on the campsite shade roof.
Everybody needs a rock

On a whim we decided to do what we’ve coined a “West Mountain Wild Card” day. The rules: forget the projects and climb as many problems as possible in areas we don’t typically go to
…because they’re hard to get to! Here we are at the Between the Sheets area way up on West Mountain, 1 hour after leaving the van.
