El presidente

I know I need to start getting so more photos on here....
Crushed George Washington's Nose aka C.O.T.D (ask Dan) V5 in about 5 minutes. Tried Ship's Traverse, that thing is hard, but I can do it when it's not 120 degrees outside.

Another good day

I don't know what has gotten into me as of late, but relative to my usually meager skills, I've been a stone-cold assassin (once again, relative to normal Bill). Today I did a bunch of new problems ALL FIRST TRY! I couldn't believe it, they just keep coming so I kept climbing. Here they are:
V5 Pocket Prow
V5 Crash and Burn (I've worked this one before)
V4 Wet Hoes
V4 Spinal Tap
V4 Orange Problem
V3 Red Problem
V2 Dry Panties

I am really happy about Crash and Burn. I have been working this one since I started climbing three years ago so it has been a long time due for sure. Now that the V5s are falling a lot quicker than they used to I'm going to try to push myself and attempt a few harder problems:
V5+ Bitch Slap
V5+ Raiders of the Lost Tomb
V6 Sloper Dyno
V6 Death Block
V6 Shadow Boxer
V7 Coral

I failed to mention that I sent Extramundane V6 after about 4 solid tries, but had to downgrade it since Twist Dah Hick, Green Block Test Piece, and Crash and Burn are all defiantly more difficult. I still haven't been able to progress on Stick with It V5+ and I have a feeling I'll send my first real V6 before I can do it.

I thought this was interesting. Notice how my weight does a pyramid as I get use to being married/studying all the time.

Pwnage

Today was my best day ever for bouldering. I did 3 new V5's today at Coopers, Roundhouse, Green Block Test Piece, and Helicopter. Today was a reeealllly good day. Now time to study non-stop for 3 more days until my last real exam.

I know I've not been keeping up with this, but I'll make an update of our Trip to Red Rocks/Joshua Tree/Yosemite after this exam next week.
