Staying in Hueco for a prolonged amount of time really makes you sick of all the red tape, and all ridiculous rituals and rules you have to abide by. It gets really frustrating, wanting to go climb on a boulder you have been to five times before, in a place you know better than many of the guides that guide your tours, but you can't break the rules and step foot into this desert oasis full of perfect bouldering. But maybe it makes the experience of being in such a special place that much sweeter. Maybe it makes you think twice about stepping in a dried out Hueco or on some dirt that is completely without footprints. The restrictions are probably a good thing, in the long run. 

I made a long list of climbs I wanted to do in Hueco before I came down, which consisted almost entirely of climbs that were put up last year or the year before. There were a few I didn’t do or didn’t get a chance to get on, but I basically did the ones I was most psyched to do like Full Throttle and Indisposable Heroes, which I did today, among other things. I’m definitely glad I brought a copy of Dosage 4 with the dose of Hueco, because after getting on a few climbs for the first time, I could come back to the campsite at the end of the day, whip open the laptop, and compare my beta to that in the video.
