Twisted

Saturday night's poker and potluck was a fantastic success. Not everone made it, but those who did had a great time. The food included stuffed mushrooms, samosas, a yummy salad, Lasagna for the main course with two different types of bread, and for desert cupcakes and Tiramisu! I lost about 8 dollars but that's the way it goes. Cassie (as usual) won a bit o cash. That night we did not sleep well, but awoke around 9 and made a huge breakfast with our friends Jackie and Chad.

Somehow even with our lack of sleep we managed to have enough energy to go up to REI and pick up our new cam that we got with our dividend money and then to LittleCottonwood Canyon to do some bouldering. It was pretty warm but we still had fun and worked on a couple pretty techy problems (they are all techy in LCC). Cassie is really close to sending Twisted and I was able to top out (height helps a lot). Cassie even tried a V10 and got off the ground (i don't think i could get off the ground). With a lot of work she might even get it!

Tonight is Tuesday and we went bouldering at the gym. Nothing much to report there except I'm psyched that my middle-finger's tendinitis appears to finally be going away after 3 months or so. After a Monday where the temps hit 75 we came home from the gym to find about an inch of new snow at the house. Spring is so funny in the mountains.

This weekend we head to Ibex to do some bouldering on really good quartzite. More pictures and posts coming soon.
