ABS Bouldering Competition

So I had things I wanted to get done today... But I went to check out a climbing competition and later decided to enter it instead.  Way to be responsible Kevin.  Way to go!  Anyway, it was a lot of fun and I learned a bit how it all works.  I stuck most of the intermediate routes on my first or second try and a couple of the easier advanced routes but after a couple hours of climbing, I was pretty spent. It made me excited to maybe do future events.  There is one on ropes in November that I might check out and then some early next year.  Don't get me wrong, I am not at all interested in getting way competitive or anything, I am by far not good enough but it is a lot of fun and is a way to help me improve..I think.  Whatever the case may be, it was a good day.  I also met some new climbing friends so if I can get work off on Tuesday, they invited me to go climbing with them. 

This has nothing to do with the competition but are some pictures I stole from Sabra from when we went climbing last Saturday.  Parley's Canyon.
