Tennessee Tennessee ain't no place I'd rather be

We're sitting in the super 8 crashing in on some showers at ben, john and smitty's hotel room, looking at videos and pictures of the past two days of climbing.  might i add the best climbing we have done thus far.  the southeast is everything i could've hoped it would be, beautiful sandstone boulders with the best slopers you can wrap your hand around.  We have all have had a great trip so far; getting on super classics at Rocktown in Georgia, and Eric and Jeff both getting their first v5s; talk about awesome. i've managed to climb 4 stellar v5's including a flash of crock block a beautiful steep line with about 18 foot of locking off slopers.  the best, but everyone was so stoked on climbing the line that there are no photos; oh well.  Rocktown is awesome.  Today we took a rest day and went to dayton, TN. to the laurel pockett wilderness.  There is some beautiful climbing there but the six of us decided to just hike the woods and look at the area.  Tomorrow we are going to Little Rock City, and later HP40.  the weather looks beautiful as far as the eye can see.  Adios.

Its E-ROCK people.
      We got to Georgia about 12:30 am, everyone pissed off and tired. Turns out we drove close to an hour on a back-mountains road only to find ourselves lost. We ended up finding the campsite, set up shop in the field and passed out. Woke up cold but really happy....i saw the sun. We loaded the crash pads in our somewhat trusty cars and drove 3 minutes to the boudlers. The past few days have been some pretty solid climbing between the 3 of us. We are all hard and pushing ourselves to the max on a few problems. I was able to send a V5 (the commit) after multiple attempts along with Jeff. All six of us took a rest day today and got the opportunity to see some beautiful Tennessee country side and eat a local brewery which has been a nice change after a few weeks of camping.  although Im not sure the person sitting next to me at the bar was a fan of my dirtbag look... or smell. Back to the rock tomorrow for a one way ticket to send town . . . or shut down street.

I'm being lazy. These past four days have been awesome. Got two great days at The red in Kentucy, and two at Rocktown Georgia; the coolest boulders I've seen. I'm enjoying myself, progressing in my climbing and it feels good. Chillen in Tennessee now, Little Rock City tomorrow I'm excited. Stay diggin' deep.
