Last weekend, Amy and I took 5 kids from our climbing team for a long weekend to Horse Pens 40 in Alabama.

Having been there a few times myself I was really excited for the kids to be able to get a feel for some “real” bouldering. After making the 12 hour drive and getting camp setup, we gave the kids a nighttime tour of the bouldering fields to get them even more excited for climbing on Friday.
Friday morning we awoke to damp conditions that quickly dissipated leaving temps comfortably cool. We warmed up at our usual spots in the Ten Pin boulders. It is always a good feeling that first time you grab a sloper at HP40 and it just sticks to your hand. Of course this also starts the countdown to the point in time where your skin can no longer handle climbing. For us Wisconsin folk that moment always seems to come all too soon.

Just within the confines of the Ten Pins boulders are enough problems of all difficulties to keep everyone interested. From the fun easier warmups to Sunbeam (V3), The Beach (V4), Popeye (V5) and Hugs and Kisses (V8), there is basically something for everyone to get worked on. Of course if you get bored there you can walk 10 yards in either direction and be at the Front Slabs or Ghetto Superstar boulder.
After warming up we started to wander our way through the different areas. We stopped at Ghetto Superstar for a bit and I gave The Thief (V7/8) a brief effort but my off the couch skills weren’t really well suited to the small crimps. Luckily the powerful moves between big holds on Mulletino (V5) were suited to my off the couch skills, and a few of us made quick work of this fun problem that I had really overlooked on previous visits to HP40.Once we were done at Ghetto Superstar we made our way to the Slider boulder, one of my favorites at HP40. I hadn’t really planned on climbing anything at this boulder as the climbs I haven’t done (namely Slider) were too hard to attempt in my weakened state, but as usual I got sucked in. I gave Boomslang a go to see how it felt compared to 4 years ago, and it felt surprisingly good despite my spotters trying to heckle me into falling off the top out.

At this point everyone’s tips were near bleeding or already bleeding so we called it a day. The kids did a great job pushing themselves to new levels on Day 1, but would they have any energy or skin left for Day 2? Find out tomorrow…
I really like that picture of Eric on Boomslang

Oh, and I wasn’t wasting skin on sandbox, that was one of my favorites from the trip, even if i couldn’t grovel my way onto the top of it.

Could be that I’m just biased when I get shelled on a V2 3 trips running…

Well when you’re used to off-the-couching V6 with a tendonitis band I could see how you might feel that way.
