ENTRY:
We camped by a lake with Ashley, Richie
and John - we didn't see the lake but
apparently it was really beautiful :)
We
headed back to Elephant Rocks in the
morning with Ashley to try to get in a
few more climbs and then went and got
ice cream before driving on to
Nashville.
Elephant Rocks was pretty cool but if I
were coming back here I'd try to come
back in the fall.

ENTRY:
We're back in Nashville! Last stop
before getting home. I'm excited to be
heading home. I'm excited to have a bed
and regular showers. And I'm excited to
catch up with all my friends back home.
It's been a long time.
Nashville
is a nice place to be though. Meg's mom
Carolyn always looks after us so well!
We went
to the gym today to climb and belay a
group of kids from a Boys and Girls club
here in Nashville. Carolyn and one of
her students at Vanderbilt organized a
session for the kids at Climb Nashville
and we thought we'd head along and help
out. It was a great afternoon - it's
really great to see kids who've never
climbed before having such a great day
and feeling so good about getting to the
top of the walls. I wish they'd have the
opportunity to do it more often. There
were a couple of them who looked like
they'd be really good climbers if they
were given the chance. |

We went to the gym with Ashley today.
What a good day of climbing. Meg and I
are both climbing really well right now.
During the trip it often felt as though
we weren't getting in enough climbing
and we were worried that we weren't
really getting any better but I think
the experience of climbing outside so
much has really improved our climbing.
I'm definitely holding on to holds now
that I couldn't have imagined holding
onto before this trip. I guess I can
thank the slopers at Horse Pens 40 for
some of that.
I did a
bunch of cool boulder problems and then
sent a 10b and very nearly sent a 10d
which I was pretty happy with. Meg was
really impressive though sending a 10a,
10b, 10d, 11c and finishing a 12b. I
think she'll send the 12b tomorrow when
we come back.
Thanks
for hanging out with us today Ashley -
it was a very cool day!! |

We finally made it back to the gym today
and climbed with the Katseff's (hi
everyone!). Then we climbed with Ashley
and Meghan sent that 12b she'd tried the
other day (go Meg!!!).
Then it
was back to the house to pack and eat
pizza before taking Ashley home and
saying our goodbyes. It was great
hanging out with you Ash - we'll see you
again soon!
