Johnny B. Good.  RRG, KY.

Thin Finger--Index, WA (hopefully going to do it tomorrow)
Heaven's Gate--Index, WA (unfinished business)
Heart of the Country--Index, WA (Sent)
Even Steven--Index, WA (painfully close)
Propaganda--World Wall I; North Bend, WA (proj.)
Blackened--Smith Rock, OR (proj.)
Chain Reaction--Smith Rock, OR (a time-consuming investment)
Moonshine Dihedral--Smith Rock, OR (haven't sunk a jam in it yet)
Exasperator--Squamish (Sent)
Screaming Yellow Zonkers--NH (too wet last time I was out there)

Don't think I'll be making it back to NH before the new year, so I guess "Zonkers" will have to be tabled until '09.

-I'd like to finally finish my OW proj in the splatte.
Done, called it Crumbling Reality

-Moonlight Buttress, maybe if I'm feeling strong. Kinda saving it for an onsight though.
Climbed well on a lot of pitches but far from an onsight. I should be back on it in the fall

-Bellyfull, cause I'm sick of one-falling the thing.
Haven't been on it this year but it should go this fall

-Romantic Warrior, I'm not even sure I'll be in California this year though.
I'm not making it to Cali this year

-Trench Warfare, climbing 4 feet from the end isn't a send.
The logistics probably aren't going to happen

I did send Skin Bus to Tuna Town in Freemont, Hypertension and Master of Sport in Vedauwoo on the same weekend, and onsighted Arianna, none of which was on my list but probably should have been

Nick Walker, Eric Pinkston, and Tony Bubb climb on the Purdue Campus. Photo taken by a cop, 1992.  No joke.

Broken Wrist, Check
Dislocated ankle, Check
2 trips to Mexico, Check
1 trip to Costa Rica, Check
1 Month working in China, Check

Back to the hospital today - looks like a broken hand.

Considering all of that, I only got 1 of my 10 routes and It'll be a while before I can climb that hard again, I suppose.

I'm not doing so well with my list, but not too shabby according to others... I'm up to 43. Just when I was feeling sorry for myself for not getting out enough this year! Thanks.
