i'm now in san antonio as susie's leaving for nyc today. i certainly will miss having a companion during my long road trip, but i figure that i'll be okay with a week left of the trip. we went to bishop, death valley, phoenix, and hueco tanks since my last posting. boy, these places are awesome! i'm on my way to atlanta and horse pen 40!
bishop, in my opinion, is a beautiful bouldering spot, especially in buttermilk country. great weather as well as approaches.
hueco tanks though has the better quality problems than bishop.
but, if i had a choice, i'd probably pick hueco over bishop. north mountain itself in hueco has numerous quality problems and i can't imagine how many more i'll see once i go backcountry with a guide there!
here are the two pixes of me:
_iron man_ @ buttermilk country
_the dud_ @ hueco tanks
now... oooofff to southeastern region and sample those nasty slopers!
