This One’s On Me
It’s been a while since I’ve climbed with a very very *very* bad hangover. Well, today was that day. Another weekend at Hueco. Another stellar tour in the backcountry. High energy, crazy motivation, overloads of fun, and another GREAT group of new friends. Some big sends, some not-so-big sends, and some OHMYGOD-OH-SO-CLOSE sends that raised cheers loud enough to be heard in El Paso. The fun overload continued after the tour was done and carried us on over to the infamous climber’s fav restaurant, El Rancho Escondito. What do you get when you combine a psyched & frenzied crew of lightweight dirtbag climbers with pitcher after pitcher of margaritas after a long and exhausting day of “sick dude, suck it in, breathe, keep it tight, sweeeet, awe yeah, launch for it, c’mon!!, send this!!!!, YYYEEEESSSS!!! NOOOOOO!!!! Niiice”? Four straight hours of loud, obnoxious rib-splitting laughter…..and a hangover the next day that puts my college party years to shame. Work hard, play hard, celebrate hard. Livin’ the good life.

Oh c’mon, April…it beat the Tequilla night on Halloween our senior year when I found you on the bathroom floor and had to carry you to your bed??? Hmmmmmm…if so…DANG!!! 🙂 I don’t know how you are drinking Margharita’s when I can’t come near Tequilla without getting the shakes because of that night! 🙂 haha…

Hey, I live in the southwest now, remember? Tequila and margaritas are an important staple of the diet.
Hmm, yeah – that Halloween night was pretty harsh….gotta admit.

It’s always nice to hear of my daughters/son exploits second hand….I will admit I had a few of my own from my earlier years. I assume Paul drove….
