RRG #2
Second trip of the season down to the Red. This trip was much better, more people and better climbing! The first trip is always to get get a small base in, then the subsequent trips for "real" climbing. Below are a few of the better pics of the trip. I climbed 6 routes on Friday, 9 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday...so pumped!!!

I met Joe with my buddy Joe Mucci a few years back while climbing in the Dacks. Joe has a climbers flop house called "The Bivy" He charged a few bucks a night for a place to crash upstairs, a kitchen to use and a wood fireplace to dry your gear out and sit next to in the cold New England winters. And yes, the first night was always free.
He was the master of the Rollies, was the first person to call me a reptile and gave me my appreciation for the Talking heads as he had all the albums on tape playing in between GD bootlegs. It was a frekin awesome place to stay and always a great party. I just wish I made it out once in the summer for his famous memorial day partys throwing TVs off the roof and blowing up the sky with fireworks.
Dam, this sucks and I hardly knew the guy.

Birkie 12
Just cant crack the 5 hour barrier, and this year was no different. I suck....5:17 for the 54K race. Super fun and warm, which was a good thing just getting in from 30+C Thailand temps. So, looks like 2013 will be the year! Twas a great weekend, with good company, good skiing and good weather.
