Smith Rock
Last weekend Dan, Angel, Ron and I went over to Smith Rock to do some climbing. It was bad ass, as usual.

Cape Alava
Last weekend Jill and I went up to Cape Alava on the Olympic Penninsula in Washington. It's a cool hike in to the beach - 3 miles of mostly boardwalk hiking through a rain forest. We got an awesome campsite right next to the beach on soft grass.
We lucked out with the weather and got sun and clear skies until Sunday morning when we were sleeping in my condo of a tent. We spent most of the time hanging out and going on short hikes down the beach. I showed Jill I was still mature enough to swear at the stove when I couldn't get it to work. That passed and we were able to to eat our mushy pasta dinner with a side of Gatorade.
Root Canal II
After my last root canal the dentist called to tell me he had gone over the x-rays and was concerned with how the digging went. I figured if he's worried, then I'm concerned. He said he wanted to get back in there and try again.
As I enjoy drooling and having sharp things poked into my head I said yes.
I went in yesterday and got the nitrous. I was going to pass on it until we started as I figured I should man up and take the shots without it. The nice assistant said I might as well use the nitrous.
So I got the nitrous and even had the nice assistant turn it up. And that was the end of feeling anything. It was like last time except I was at the bottom of a well and didn't really experience too much (besides the assitant hitting on me again.) I did take a gander at the drill bit they used - either the nitrous makes things seem larger or it really is 2 feet long.
In the end nothing new was done on the tooth. But I didn't care too much as I was high on nitrous. They just need nitrous bars and I'd be a happy man.

Ice Climbing
This Sunday Keevin, Matt, Esther and I went up to the Elliot Glacier to do up some ice climbing. We practiced on WI4 and WI5 routes. It was very cool.

Climbing
I've been slacking and haven't put up any climbing pictures lately. So here are some to check out.
At the end of August we went over to Smith Rock and did like 4 climbs because it was so hot. All I got were pictures of Ron and Angel, which isn't a bad thing.
Last weekend Angel, Ron and I went over to Beacon Rock and did the South East route. There weren't any issues besides me screaming at the top of my lungs when I slipped 2 feet and put tension on a cam.
Root Canal
I got my first root canal yesterday. Half of the people I talked to said it wouldn't hurt, the other half said it was painful. So I took the offer for nitrous oxide.
It took a bit for the gas to kick in and have any affect and I thought it was kinda lame. Then it felt like I was drunk - and that was good. Except I thought the dental assistant was hitting on me. But that happens when they see how hot I am with a dental dam covering my face.
The Dr came in and started excavating my jaw. That's what it seems like at any rate. I heard them talking but things went in and out as I can't hold my NOS. The Dr. said 'No, the longshank' and the longest bit I've seen since I drilled holes for the hot tub conduit passed in front of my face. I thought it'd be a good time to breath deeper and get all numblike. 10 minutes later we were all done and I was just drooling out of the side of my mouth.
Jill was nice enough to drive me to and from the appointment and deal with my bitching. She even got me peaches which I ate while chewing on the side of my mouth.
