Goodbye Red River Gorge...):

Jul 5 2010

Today is a sad day. It was our last day of climbing at the Red. It was a really good day though. I think we can leave knowing we climbed as hard as we could given the time we had.
Carl finally sent her project, Way Up Yonder 12a today. Bethany sent Gung Ho 12b, and Noah sent Tissue Tiger 12b. Brice sent his project, Blue-Eyed Honky Tonk Jesus 12c, and Kyle wants me to note that he had a particularly good climbing day. I had a pretty proud send today; a 10d. Hey, I take what I can get.
I decided to make today's blog an interview. Since it's the last day of climbing of this trip, I asked everyone what their favorite part of has been so far.

Michael: "Long hour drives with Carson."
Carson: "Still having Tiny sit on my lap."
Bethany: "Exploring with Shannon at Bill Bagwell's house."
Andrew: "When I showered with Carson (separate showers!)"
Noah: "Jumping of cliffs…with Carson."
Shannon: "Spending time with Coach Kyle…no wait…"
Tiny: "The exact time and date when I woke up to see BA's face when he first arrived on the trip."
Brian: ""The exact time and date when I woke up to see Tiny's face when I first arrived on the trip."
Carl: "Getting my pineapple silly band from Bethany."
Rita: "Making pancakes with Bethany at Bill Bagwell's house."
Dana: "Encountering a bloodthirsty bat in my hold on Hoofmaker."
Callie: "Becoming friends with locals who hated us, but no longer do."
Morgan: "Finishing the milk challenge."
Terra: "Having a photo shoot on the side of the road while waiting for the van."
Claire: "Going rockwall climbing and sending Tuna Town. I realized that the process of climbing is fun, and I realized that I wanted to train for myself rather than for others."
Brendan: "The milk challenge."
Weeman: "Waffle House after the ER."
Sammi: "Staying at Mr. Bagwell's house."
Amy: "Going cat hunting with Shannon."
Tiffany: "Being an action hero and climbing outside."
Dominic: "Cliff jumping."
Tayler: "Today when Kyle was an hour late picking us up from the wall, when we had our reject photo shoot! Also watching Caroline try to leap frog the correct way!"
Coach Kyle: "Hunting down the bear and killing it with my bare hands!"

So I'd say that's a pretty comprehensive rundown of the trip so far. I mean, what else do you need to know, besides that BA and Tiny love each other and that everybody does everything…with Carson.
Today was Tiffany's 16th birthday! We celebrated with cake and balloons. Everybody should wish her a happy birthday.
Tomorrow will probably be an early morning. We have to pack up our entire camp, and head off to Atlanta. Preferably before noon, so we can get in at a decent time. So good night everyone!

Signing off…
