down time

tendonitis strikes again... looks like I'm stuck belaying for a while. It's been a while I almost forgot what it sounded like, that faithful POP. Thats what I get for not warming up long enough. Found out the pain was caused by a little too much campusing. I'm giving it a week or so to heal up, so instead of sitting in the house sulking I'm going to check out Sourland.

Sourland Mountain Preserve is allegedly home to the finest boulder fields in New Jersey. And I'm told that for years climbing has not been tolerated, but recently that ban has been lifted. Naturally I am stoked seeing as Sourland is close by and there is no daily fee to hike or climb. Sourland is a 10 mile long volcanic ridge of diabase, over 2,600 acres of scattered rock. The thought alone has my imagination running wild. Scouring the internet and asking around I haven't been able to snag a lot beta so there is possibility of virgin rock. A friend of mine has a buddy who hikes the trails and may be able to give some heads up to good areas. Anyway this turns out it should be an awesome bouldering trip. Fingers crossed look forward to a post with crazy overhangs, outrageous slabs, and good times in the next week or so. Until then climb strong, climb often, and keep it awesome-
