Hueco Tanks Update

Matt and I have spent four days in Hueco Tanks, a world famous bouldering location. The rock is bullet hard and the climbing has exceeded its reputation. Things are going well. Instead of a typical deserted camping spot, we are staying at a commercial operation called Hueco Rock Ranch. Key amenities include toilets, a common room complete with a ping pong table, and showers. I feel like it equates to rock climbing Disney World.

So far we have completed two climb/rest day cycles that comprise of two days on and one day off. Our fingertips are a little raw, but life goes on. We have two more days to finish some key climbs before we take off for Arizona.

A different post with some photos might follow later, but I thought I would post a video of Matt climbing a super-classic problem. Hope you enjoy it!
