\nFriday morning, we woke up to rain. Rain, rain and more rain….with a couple lightning storms thrown in to make it a little interesting. Paul’s project was soaked (Theatre of the Absurd), so we ran up to Martini Roof so I could try mine (Baby Martini)- always dry in any rainstorm. But no send for me. I finally got established in the final Hueco but then flubbed up my “Mary Poppins” double toe hook beta and blew off. \ud83d\ude41 I tried it again a few more times but no go. Sooo close!<\/p>\n
Saturday we woke up again, to more rain. Grrr! The air felt like a classic sticky New River Gorge kinda day. It was all misty out, the mosquitos were as thick as pea soup and Paul and I were lathering up with deet. Mmmmm, deet. Ok, this may sound a little weird, but I was actually getting all reminiscent by the smell of deet. It smelled *good* to me. Ya know – like when you grow up in the country and the smell of cow manure makes you all homesick?! Mmmmm, “fresh air” we’d all used to say. Haha. Ok, so where was I? Ahh yes, deet….and drizzle….and blood thirsty mosquitos…..<\/p>\n
Lucky for us the drizzle was short-lasted that morning, barely wetting the rock. We lounged around in the tent for a few hours, and then headed out to warm-up near Mushroom Roof. After warm-ups, it was on up to Theatre of the Absurd (v10) for Paul. A couple tries to work the bugs out, and then woohoo! SEND. Nice job Paul. It looked effortless.<\/p>\n
After Paul’s smooth send, we went on over to Baby Martini again. Typically, Paul and I always send in pairs. But unfortunately, this wasn’t one of those times…perhaps the first. Again I got established in the last hueco, but again I fell out…not bumping my hand when I should have. A boulder problem with that many moves gives me too much time to think, I think. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Can anyone guess where you’ll find us next weekend?<\/p>\n
