Happy Anniversary to Us!


Not everyone...yet, that's this winter. Mel-lo and I just celebrated our 1 year anniversary of climbing together. Many interesting things have happened this past year, all of it pretty fun and some of it has to do with climbing. Here is a partial list.

  • The "slap the monkey" route...
    The green 8+ day from hell...
  • specialty - the double belay set-up (not to be confused with the double climber set-up)
  • Getting VE staff to just say "yes!"...
  • Coupon mania...
  • Redefining "Haulin ass" (not to be confused with Hall and Oats)
  • Becoming friends with the Dr. Seuss lady!..
  • Running around sooooo happy at ice climbing (with toe warmers)...
  • Running around sooooo happy at the gym for that matter...
  • First lead out of the pit
  • First leads at Red Wing
  • Setting top ropes in 38 degrees at Taylor's, forgetting the rope ( Thanks Eric)
  • Seeing a piglet on the freeway and calling 911
  • tip toeing past the Buffalo
  • Getting my first speeding ticket
  • sitting on a spire without crying
    Oh, and the epic SD trip, one never to forget!
and above all making many more new friends... All of You!
Julieanne and Amy, If I don't see trip pictures soon, I will start telling embarrassing stories... I know... I can make up a whopper, you have seen me do it. :)
