Little Rock City and Sendelo Especial (24 oz)


Little Rock City is a nice shady bouldering area just outside of Chatanooga on a golf course. I found it quite interesting to roll up to the club house and find parking areas labeled "climber parking." I would've imagined a lot of access issues since it is not only in a prestigious neighborhood, but also 20ft off the fairway of the 10th hole. In fact 2 boulders are closed due to the fear of climbers getting struck with a 200 mph golf ball. Its an easy 2 minute approach from the parking lot to the boulders, and the sandstone is of classic southeast quality. Extremely aesthetic lines, and unique features. Now I finally understand the inspiration behind so many gym holds I've been pulling on for the last 3 years.
The day was highlighted by my send of a v4 named Dragon Lady, and my friend Warren sent two v6's with ease. We also sent a few Modelo Especial's with ease. It was a nice way to end the day.

On another note, this week my long anticipated, and my I say glorious return to academia has commenced. Graduate school is everything I have hoped for and more. My classes are already kicking my butt. I have never been so excited to do homework. My classes are more in depth than I previously imagined, and already I have made 3 trips to the library to check out extra books to see a full scope of the subjects. I <3 mathematics.
