The weather has remained cold. It snowed 3 inches marking the first snow in 3 years in El Paso. The days have are barely getting above freezing and the wind is unrelenting. I heard four distinct popping noises from my right shoulder while campusing the finish of a boulder problem called "Shower Cap", unfortunate and painful. My back has also been extremely stiff and sore, my guess is due to the cold. Despite the injuries I managed to climb a V10 called "Dirty Martini on the Rocks" the climb was originally rated V12 but has since been significantly down rated. Rich climbed "Schwerer Gustav" (V11) and "Left Martini" (V10) and has been looking strong on many other difficult boulder problems. Hema went home early to support her family while her dad gets a heart valve replacement. Despite drinking large amounts of alcohol Wade managed to climb "Bare Foot on Sacred Ground" (V12) and bought everyone a cake to celebrate.

We'll be there soon! And looks like the weather is gonna shift. It'll be colder than ever this year up here by the time we leave, and it should be getting in the 70's down there starting early next week! Don't worry, as long as Nic remembers to get us at the airport, we'll bring the sun with us!
