News from Hueco
The Rock Ranch is awesome. Wish I could say the same for the weather. Yeap, it even gets cold in Hueco but not as bad as 
everywhere else. The first day was nice. Only the wind kept me from wearing shorts and going shirtless even in the shade. Since then we have had some clouds and cooler temps. But its fine when you’re climbing.
I can't say enough about the Ranch, except for the porta lets, its has everything. A shower, wireless internet, a cooking shed and an insulated barn with chess boards, card games, TV and even a foosball table. The sites are pretty primitive but you're in the dessert and the dessert is great just the way it is. Clear nights and mornings are amazing.
The bouldering is world class and the problems are limitless. The park is regulated but the rules are sensible and access to the East and West Mountains can be gained by taking a tour.
Reservations and an orientation session are required to enter the park, seeing some of the pictographs and flora explains why.
There has been no shortage of Nashvillians yet.
I showed up Wednesday, then Eric and Nicole showed up Thursday and Jesse and Sammy came in for the weekend. I have also met folks from Seattle, French Canada, North Carolina and somewhere in Eastern Europe.
With the weather staying cold in Utah, looks like I will get plenty more practice bouldering (which I need). Hope this finds everyone well.

re: movement, most definitely. Abs and footwork are must, the latter being my nemesis. I have been working “nobody gets out of here alive”, a classic V2, must do. I can make all the moves but have yet to link it up. Like most of the problems here it starts in a cave, pulls a lip and tops out through a series of face moves. I should get it this week. I am working some V3’s as well. The problems are stiff here, real stiff. but my hands are getting tougher and once my lats and core adjust, I should be cranking….
