To Re-Sole or to Buy New

No climbing this weekend, only a lot of thinkin' about next weekends trip to Cooper's. Though, the weather doesn't look that great for Saturday, it should get better cause Old Man Winter is one more crappy weekend from getting his ass kicked. In the process of sending V4 in my mind I have realized that both of my good pairs of shoes have holes starting in the right toes.
1.) I need to stop dragging that damn toe when going for longer moves.
2.) I need more pairs of good (shoes i like) to have when I have to send others back to be re-soled.

~On a side note anyone who needs a pair size 5.5US climbing shoes...I'm still trying to unload that damn pair of slippers (20 bucks).

As for this weekend, I am headed to Cooper's hopefully w/ some company from BU. I would like to head down into the Tilted Tree Area again with them. There are some boulders in the back that I really want to put my hands onto. These routes include V0 - V3 problems. Also, while in the TTA I would like to make it to Moby's Dick Arete (V3) and send that rig as well. Though if my company isn't interested in the TTA I know I'll find other rocks to keep me occupied. In the Upper Rock City area I would like to work on some of the fun "crack climbing." As for Roadside Rocks there are so many problems there I have my eyes on a certain V4 as well as I'd love to repeat 2 of the v2's there.

No matter what happens I can't wait for this fun to take off on Saturday. Though, it will get cut short because I have to be back in Moorefield by ~4:30 for the pageant that I have to be at. But then again, it is only the first trip to Coopers this summer. I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes, as well as update my account on www.thecrag.com (on a quick aside, I have updated this site for my recent trip to the Red).

Climb On
