We started with about one unclimbed route, but since Dani loves to bolt, now there are unclimbed routes everywhere. Not to mention Ali-Hulk, the giant cave link up, which is cool as shit. And I forgot! Chris Sharma came recently, and we have been thrashing about in the cuevit, and trying many a pretty route onsight! Chris demonstrates how to be a muerte when you onsight, and I demonstrate how you fight and hang on. Dani is trying Pata Negra, a 14b route in bare feet, which is 120 feet long, and it’s a buddy’s project. He has a bet where he can win 100 euro if he manages that in three tries. This paragraph is reading like a soduku! 

Joder--it will remain un-edited for reasons of principle, so hang on everybody, and follow me here. It’s hard Ali-hulk and for sure 15a rock climbing, we work sections, and fall, a lot, but someday in the near future, we will be very strong. So Chris came, Dani and I got psyched. We all go climbing, and Chris and I have many a route to do, but considering Dani has done every route except Borrachos, a couple random 14b’s and this one mega-ultra-project in the Ali Baba cave in Rodellar, we end up battling in it with him. The V14 low start to the Ali-Hulk is something not to fuck with, very hard. It makes that 5.15c at the least, and one might say, damn! Yuji Hiriyama has been here too, over the weekend, and we had a great slew of evening celebrations, lots of cervesas, and genuine good times. 

So I am going to sign off on the ultra-rambling note of, yeah, the next blog will be more focused, everybody will get to hear everything they ever wanted to know, and today I am in a city, and must get to Rodellar, where will wade through my funny waters, maybe go swimming if it’s hot in the nice turquoise waters of the river, and try and hook shit up! Whoooppppeeeeee!
