ABS: Rhode Island Rock Gym

The competition down in Rhode Island last weekend was pretty stiff. Mike Foley, Vasya Vorotnikov, Josh Larson, and Brian Bittner- to name a few- showed up to crush. In the end, over 150 competitors spent the day inside thrashing themselves on plastic. Good times. I finished up 3rd just behind Mike Foley, who recently finished Livin' Astro (5.14c), as well as the boulder problem, Halcyon (V11/12) in just under 20 minutes or something crazy like that. That skinny little man is mutant strong right now! And of course, as usual, the crushing monster, Vasya, took first for 100 dollars.

Check out some photos...


There was much chalk in the air. White-lungs anyone?


Vasya destroying.



The setup to a difficult arete problem.


Finishing up as little Foley and Vorotnikov wait for me to fall. Just kiddin' fellas.
