Halloween is rad

I decided to have a Halloween party so I'm spending a retarded amount of time on spiderwebs, fog, lighting, graveyards, and blood spatter.  Should make for a good party though.  Who would have thought that arts and crafts would be anything other than gay as a bag of rainbows?  Who else would have thought to indicate where the restroom is by writing it in blood on the wall?

In the climbing world - my 5.13a goal of Goliath isn't going to happen - getting too cold at the tower and took too long to get Mad Hatter.

I did take four days and go to Red Rocks.  4000 ft of climbing.  Over 25 miles of hiking.  One load of poo in my pants.  No really.  I did the scariest pitch of climbing I've ever done - traversed 100 sideways over the top of a roof, sometimes using the last 1/4 inch of rock before the abyss as a foot-hold.

The 5.12 count list is at:
5.12a 21
5.12b 14
5.12c 3
5.12d 1

Latest climbing ticks:
Mad hatter 5.12d (note that I fell while staring at the anchors on my ~5th run - couldn't let one hand go to clip the anchors - I was even hanging draws on that run!).  A few more runs and I got it.
Jabberwocky 5.12b on the 3rd go - some say the best route on the tower - I'm inclined to agreee.
Rumplestiltskin 5.12a onsight (right after sending Jabberwocky)
Six Shooter 5.12a onsight
Toy Surprise 5.12c
Bored of Inquiry 5.12b
Excalibur 5.12b
Freeform 5.12a
Tinkerbell's Nightmare 5.12b
Crack Attack 5.12a
Stoker 5.12b
