January was pretty arse on the poker front. I only withdrew $2k but I still didn't grow my online roll very much...

Today I'll grind a whole bunch and then have a chilled out evening. Saturday morning and I'll be heading off to Queenstown with my girlfriend for a night in a tent and some time outside and away from Dunedin. Saturday arvo we'll meet up with a bunch of friends who are arriving from around the place and everyone else will climb while i drink beer and yell words of encouragement (along the lines of 'come on useless, pretend you don't suck!!'). Sunday morning i'll go hunt some trout while the others climb and then it's back to dunedin. Hopefully Monday I'll be cooking a big feast of fresh fish for a few friends.. It's going to be a short trip, but i'm psyched on getting out of town for a couple of days and hanging out next to a lake surrounded by mountains.

I posted some pics from my new years trip elsewhere, i'm copying them here just cos:

went to castle hill for five days over new years. Bouldering trip for everyone else, active rehab + guiding (well pointing at problems that are old friends) + drinking trip for me. My girlfriend climbed until her fingertips were all raw, as did everyone else. Super-psyched crew and it was heaps fun pointing them at more and more climbs. I'm hoping to climb again by March. Fingers crossed. I can finally do a chinup without pain (been testing that every fortnight) so at least I can do some training i guess. The ticklist of routes and boulders for summer that i wrote back in early November isn't going to be seeing too much ticking. Well, not until late Autumn/winter anyway...

some castle hill sampling
1 - simple sample warmup smear/slopers V2 sunshine
2 - in this photo i have just sandbagged my girlfriend. At the moment this photo is taken she believes the start 3 moves (V4-ish) are the crux...
3 - trickystartjuggyfinish a classic V2 (?)
4 - moving from a weird sloper to a smallish two finger sloping crimp. Standard stuff. V-moderately hard.
5 - settling a beer bet. Turns out that this V5 isn't that much harder barefoot... crux is the move to the pocket he's on now, second almost crux is the throw he's about to make
