| My new gold tusk. photo: Verm |
About 2 months ago, my friend Verm asked me what my climbing goals were. One of them is to climb The Nose of El Cap. But I never had anyone willing to teach me and suffer with me. He said lets do it and work out a training mission. I’m psyched.
About a month and half ago, I found out that I cracked a tooth and needed a gold crown. Our plan to leave for the next 4 months on a climbing road trip was put on hold. I needed to get my metal mouth done before the road to The Nose.
About 2 weeks ago, a new gold tusk replaced the old one. It’s shiny new and smooth. I like to touch it with my tongue.
Our timing was off but we managed to get a bunch of training techniques in around Flagstaff. We worked on crack climbing, aid, jugging and hauling. None I’m to good at. Training is a necessity. My friend Billy Bob said “You have to get the dance down.”
Sounds good….Lets dance!
