I had a great weekend and am totally exhausted tonight, it’s grand.
Saturday was climbing out at Boulder Canyon again, we were on the Happy Hour crag which is a pretty decent place to be. The only downside is the short approach which means a ton of noise coming off the Highway. On the bright side though there were lots of great lines to be climbed. Twofer was one of my favs, it had a roof about halfway up that you had to maneuver around in just the right way. The first time was brutal! I was way too far from the roof and couldn’t reach (or see) the perfect holds just over the lip for the longest time but once I found them it was smoother sailing! My other favourite was Grins which had a lot of different moves on it, liebacks, stems and all sorts of fun stuff. I’ll definitely do that one again when I get the chance. We polished off the day with a few pints at The Dark Horse pub in Boulder which is one of those semi-seedy bars that I should make an effort to visit more often.
Sunday was skiing out at Breckenridge. Alas no sleep-ins this weekend I was up and out of the city by 7.30am to try and beat the weekender traffic. Breck was in good form, no new snow which was a shame but what they had was really soft and decent. I hit a lot of black and double black stuff and quite a few of the groomers too. The weather was excellent, around -2c or so and the only downside was a slightly grey sky all day. Ah well, you can’t always get what you want eh?
In other news I found out that my renters are going to be moving out May 1 so if you know anyone who is looking for a place in Tuscany send em my way.
