Back in Chatt

So, I have again emerged from the woods. It's been so great to be so removed from all civilization and be in the middle of nowhere.

I headed up to Obed near Knoxville for some sport climbing with Kathryn and her friend from home. We met up with a bunch of people we had met in Kentucky and I actually felt like I was back there. There were about 10 of us from the red.

The climbing down here is much different, no jugs and a different type of rock. I think that 2 weeks of top-roping killed my lead head and I don't feel in great shape, so, it took some getting used to. The first day was difficult, i felt like I couldn't climb, but after 3 days of climbing, I'd gotten used to it and my whole body got quite the workout. It felt great.

Camping was near this boulder field, again, middle of nowhere, no one else around, except this time it had a bathroom which was nice. A couple of early nights and some hard days of climbing and today's rest day feels great.

We left and headed back South to Chattanooga again, and are even at the same campsite, but only for tonight. Tomorrow, we head to Little Rock City to do some bouldering, and stay with out good friend Thalia in her new apartment for the night. A reunion of Kentucky girl climbers. I can't wait.
