short session

Ben and I did some bouldering at the lake Saturday morning. I had to work in the afternoon, so the session was cut short.

I was able to climb the new problems on the Mission Impossible boulder that Ben climbed last week. The boulder now has five lines total with the new additions--Tomcat, Mission Direct, Mission Possible, and Mission Enough.--first ascents by Ben.

In other news, while walking around we spotted an overhanging boulder, that I've somehow missed for three years. Its guarded by a fortress of poisin ivy at the moment, but come winter..it's on.

I forgot my camera on saturday, so here's an old shot of Lindsey on Mission Impossible. The new problems are on the opposite side of the boulder.

Scott at Camp Eagle

My good buddy Scott (the first ascentionist of the aptly named Scott's Problem at Brownwood) down at Camp Eagle put up a tough route at Camp Eagle a few months ago. Its called Buffet Line and goes at 5.13. The first move itself looks pretty brutal. I hope to make it down to camp soon to try it out.

Here's a link to the video:

Camp Eagle is a great spot for long limestone sport routes in Central Texas. If you need information, shoot me a message, or check out www.campeagle.org
