"What an odd sport we inhabit, where bits of obscure rock in remote locations are recognizable."    — Richard Pawlowicz.

Although a week long excursion into the Kentucky wilderness never disappoints, you come to realize how much you love climbing for the mere fact that it feels so good when you stop.

It was good to recharge the batteries and swear off computers for the week (even if I kept the treo close at hand). I finally broke out of the 5.10 range and into the 11's (US Climbing Rating System).

I got some pretty good pictures of myself "red pointing" a 5.10d climb called Possum Lips at Military Wall. Check out the rest of the pics.
