I successfully extricated myself from that which is Baltimore to move on to bigger and better things just outside of El Paso, Texas in Hueco Tanks State Park. Aside from the nostalgia borne out of returning to my home state for a stint, despite the fact that I am about ten hours away from where I grew up outside of Austin, I am psyched to be here because of how amazing the climbing is. So far I have had two days on, and have been given the nickel tours of North and East mountains by various friends.
Some of the climbing has proven to be surprisingly technical and crimpy, but I have also managed to find several problems that require my oh so favorite thuggish style of climbing. One day I will have to learn how to crimp and all of that if I want to truly progress within the sport any further, but, for now, I am okay with climbing like a moron with muscles. It is more fun that way I think.
I have been camping with several of my good friends from back in Kentucky. Seeing all of them and getting the chance to hang out before I am relegated to West Coast living for a spell has been awesome. We had some serious rain dump down on us yesterday, but, from the looks of it, that will be the worst weather I encounter while out here.
What is next? Bishop. I will go to Bishop. I will be psyched. I will be ready. I will invariably get shut down. Maybe. I have a small hand full of problems I hope to bag while I am out there, but I am going with no expectations.
About Me
- bryce.tuggle
- The dreaded about me section. I do not know that there is much to say. I love to climb, travel, drink good beer & bourbon & give people a hard time. Luckily, most people who meet me seem to find my antics entertaining, but those who do not tend to threaten knee pad slapping. At the moment, I am living the dirtbag dream and traveling through the country with the goal of climbing as much as I can and hopefully finding a little direction in life.
