i got back home late last night from the gunks (new paltz) as i went there to camp and boulder. the weather was very pleasant i've seen in a while. i met some cool people there where we got to boulder some fairly hard problems. though i wasn't able to send all of them, they were super fun and hope to send them someday soon. some of my fingers are screaming at me as they've gotten some flappers. they're calling for some ointments now! guess my fingertips are now soft from my non-active climbing days this past year. i gotta climb often to build up callous skin! on the downside of this trip, i think i caught a cold bug. (it was in 50s in the evenings) time for me to rest now! *sneezing*
