I have made you all a video of what I'm up to in tonsai. Thought it would be more fun than reading about it.
 
sshhh don't tell the government I'm working here, else I'll track you down and kick your A**
 
If anyone misses me terribly and wants to feel a little closer to me, then wear the same clothes (and sweat in them) every single day and don't wash them for a week.  Only take cold showers, and LIKE it!
 
Enjoy the monkey pictures!

Rest day
When not climbing, then it's beach time!

My quirky sense of humor.
I wrote the caption on the bottom right.
Don't worry. Someone came and claimed it back.
Thank God!

Yam is a little excited
This is his first multi-pitch.

Dag is hanging up my new hammock
Yay! I'm so glad someone knows how to tie up a hammock!!! I'm not sure how to make those crazy knots. And the joy I got from this hamock... well, see video above!

nursing a hangover
Morning after a mad night of Xmas drinking.

I ripped my pants!!!
AGAIN.

This is NOT a vacation.
Dag believes this is as important as climbing is during the day. He can do this all night, and still climb 8a's the next morning without breaking a sweat. (8a = 5.13b)

Peek a boo
Before climbing the 7a climb.
Whoa... what an adventure!

Yam at night.
Just as gorgeous as in the daytime.

Fake smile = "oh, I don't want to repel and hike out at night. UGH,"

Climbing with Flo
We're on "Beauty and the Beast."
I'm the Beauty. Just in case you were wondering.

Yay! Fanny is back!
I still love her!

I got vertigo watching your videos of the climb. Maybe I could climb with a parachute, a teddy bear and a Hoover Board (back to the future style hellz yea!!). You stay climbing. It's definitely all you. I'm just sayin that it ain't for me. I can do the bouldering stuff....barely. Now I'm going to try and drown out the naseau from the vertigo with cheez its and ginger ale. Love YOU!!!

shit. I forgot to add that I want to encourage you to take videos of Yam. You know, the yam is such a....big vegetable.
