new skills!

I went to Rumney on Saturday with Amy. It was beautiful and we had a fabulous time! At the end of the day, I hopped on Romancing the Stone which was one of my *projects* last fall. I remembered every route but was too tired to link the moves. It is going to go *soon*!

We're making noise about heading to the Gunks soon. Its supposedly some of the best climbing (and trad) in the northeast. Climbing legend Lynn Hill loved it so much when she visited, she ended up staying for eight years.

Gabe got me started with some trad skills today. I learned the basics for placing pro, setting up anchors and belaying off anchors. I need a lot of practice but am pretty excited to be starting this. I also need to raise some cash so I can start buying a rack. Any suggestions for get-rich-quick schemes?
