Birthday bashing! arrrggghh!

3 days in joshua tree for my birthday. Mmm... it's these simple pleasures that really put a smile on my face. Actually, it's seeing my friends happily climbing and having fun that really puts a smile on my face. For that my friends, thank you very much.

Didn't really climb hard this weekend - didn't really need to. Did a bunch of classic routes that I had never done / seen before, and that was what I was looking for. Aiguille de Joshua Tree, Solar Technology, Geronimo, Buisoneer's - all routes that I lead that I never lead before.

I wish I could say it was memorable, but that would be a partial lie. I apparently drank more alcohol than the rest of the group combined on sat night - as a result, there's a point from which Johnnie hugged me goodnight (probably around 10) to when my friends had to carry me to my tent (probabyl around 12 am). I have NO clue what happened, what I did, or what I said. I kept asking my friends what happened / what I said but the answer I consistently got was a slightly whimsical grin and the words "oh... there are pictures..."
