Had a little bit of an epic day today. Managed to take the last spot on a volunteer climbing tour after someone didn't show up (many parts the state park I'm climbing in, Hueco Tanks, are closed to you unless you go with a guide because of conservation issues). Day started nicely, it was cold but thats good for climbing as your hands don't sweat. Then while we were warming up it started snowing, and by the time we left the park early at 1:30, there were 50mph gusts blowing dust and sand everywhere. And this wind was on top of it only being 45°F at the hottest part of day so it was freezing out in the open. But before we left the park we did get some good climbing in. I almost sent a V8, worked the start of a V11, and did many easier problems including a super classic V5 called Jigsaw Puzzle.
Even though the day was cut short, I'm glad I went out. After spending over eight hours in a car yesterday driving to El Paso from Austin I needed to get out and do something.
