Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving brought the usual crowd of psyched boulderers to our little Bishop community. The weather was perfect, as usual, with the shade offering amazing sending temps for the ripped hard men and women that graced our boulder fields.

So where was I? Training on my campus board… of course!

After receiving photos from Sam who was documenting the Buttermilk scene, I had a tiny twinge of disappointment that I was not there to hang out with the visiting superstars.

The best part of Thanksgiving is the feast that takes place. As soon as the Turkeys arrive at the grocery store, I start dreaming about eating crunchy turkey skin and pie! Weeks before this year’s Thanksgiving feast, my friends and I were fortunate enough to host a vigilant stomach flu that kept host-jumping between my friends. The repercussions from the flu were apparent by how little damage we did to the Thanksgiving dinner that took place at my house. Fortunately, the following night brought more hungry climbers to our dining table, to help reduce the leftover pile!

With the Thanksgiving holiday behind us, Christmas cards have started arriving at my house which can only mean one thing… it’s time to start ordering my Christmas presents!
