Sent!I finally got the redpoint on my project - Under Arrest 5.12a. Some say the missing start has changed it to a 5.12b
but I'll stick with the 12a rating. I'm in Salt Lake City now. Starting October 1st (ish) my
phone will no longer work while I'm in Mexico. Please use my email at wes@greencrap.com if you wish to contact me. When I return (roughly Feb '09) I will have the same phone number again.

Back from BC... againSince I left Bend, I did a little bouldering in Sisters, hung out with Greg and friends for his 30th birthday. We
got on a big ass boat and tooled around the lake. I got a chance to climb with Chris - Greg's brother and we decided
to project a 5.12a at exit 38 outside of Seattle - we got all the peices together but couldn't quite hit the redpoint
(clean lead climb in case you didn't know). I then left for Whistler with Sev and met Tammy, Mary, Alex and
another couple on their wedding anniversary for some downhill mountain biking. The first day was sketchy... lots of
off balance landings but the second day was awesome - just punching the mountain in the face! I came into Squamish and
met up with Beth, Jenny, and Leslie, along with my climbing friends from Bend, Autumn and Ben. I got in some classic
climbs, leading my first 5.10b trad, onsighting my first 5.10a trad, and redpointing my first 5.11c/d with the help of Mariah.
Holy crap eh! I'm now back in Seattle for a bit and got to meet up with an Albuquerque friend, Carmen. Tried
my project 5.12a again to no avail. Tomorrow I give it one more try then I'm headed to Salt Lake, followed by Greeley,
Albuquerque, Tucson and Mexico. There's a few new pictures up... take a look (it should say which ones are new).
