Red River Gorge pt 1

Mojo giving Brandon a catch

Man has it been a while. I didn't even remember how to order food at Miguel's!

I tagged along with Tom, Mojo, and Brandon as they hit up Pendergast and then Military wall last Saturday and Sunday.

Lessons of the weekend:

  1. Bring more batteries - lots more
  2. Bring more light - lots more
  3. Bring your static line
Now the best part is that we are going back again the weekend of the 9th and I don't like to make the same mistakes twice.

So now for your viewing delightment, here are the remainder of Saturday's winning photos. I'll post Sunday's tomorrow (as I haven't gone through them completely yet).

The "Faces of Mojo" Project lives on, someday I may post about it.
Hey Tom, It's your Birthday! Everybody wish Tom a Happy
Belated Birthday when you see him next.

Brandon was kind enough to bust out probably the most
killer image of the day, and Tom was kind enough to be my VAL

From "I'll just do the Iron Cross," to "Oh why did I just
do the Iron Cross?!"

Follow the light Mojo, follow the light

The underclings were good, too bad there
wasn't crap to oppose them with

Mojo takes home the award for the most
Zen-like photo of the trip

These guys were making short work of this
5.8 route, so I made Brandon go back a few
moves and use his heels like a man.

Navy SEAL dog will kill you. Also, "OMG GUYS! Have
you heard of this thing called MUD?! It's SOOOO AWESOME!"
I'll post day 2 pictures tomorrow.

And for the lighting geeks out there, the lit photos used one Canon 430EXII strobe on either full or 1/2 power without much of any modification. Triggered with Impact PowerSync16 radio slaves.
