Hueco: People and Projects

Ryan Young was a sports climber. Or so he says. I happen to know that he still partakes in bolt clipping, or at least dreams about it. What evidence do I have, you ask? Well, he carries a kneepad in his bouldering bag. And duck tape. And adhesive spray. Observe, Exhibit A: A Young Man and His Kneepad.

On the plus side, Ryan's a nice kid. And he took a lot of pictures, including pictures of people taking pictures of Ryan taking pictures.


He is not, however, a smoker. Neither am I, for that matter. But all the Peter Pans we went on tour with seemed to be, so we thought "what the hell, let's light up and enjoy the classy pleasure of a cigarette."


Poor Ryan couldn't even get the thing lit, so I gave it a go:


and failed terribly. Silven though, he was a champ. Showed us how Men do it.


Silven also got the spray down on James' super-project, a mostly-impossible line of edges leading into Terre De Sienne. Here James makes sure Silven knows where the holds are.


There were some other people in Hueco too. Apparently, it's a popular bouldering destination or something.

 
Despite the excess population, we had no problem getting reservations, unlike these poor gentlemen waiting at the gate.
