well keith, i am here to extinguish any of your unfounded claims that adam and i are not on a beautiful island climbing on perhaps the best sport routes in the world. and yes that is adam in the photos on his blog, i was there and i helped him hurt himself shortly afterwords. he is still feeling our blunder; his wrist is still discolored and his butt is super sore. i feel really bad, but i will say that it is really nice to hang out with him. i think that it has been nearly three years since i have spent this much time with him. i have missed him.
it has been a really nice time, the weather has been ridiculous, sunny about 20 25 degrees with a consistent breeze. the climbing is fun and varied huge tuffas that you can sit on to deep two finger pockets that you lock off at your waist. i think it is easier to understand why we climb if you come to a place like this. (future travel plans, mom dad sarah keith adam leanna ian and . . . (if i'm lucky) all in kalymnos for two weeks). i have been climbing super well, i have onsighted a couple of 7a+'s and many 6c's, i am hoping to get a couple of 7b's and 7c's under my belt but i don't know if that will be possible, i am still not that good. only 5 climbing days left; crazy.
i head back to athens and then train it back to thessaloniki hopefully that will happen on saturday so that i have sunday to regroup before school, scary really, only 7 weeks left once i am back, i have a lot to do. then it is back to the states for a long stint this summer, a week in new york, a week at the new with a greek friend, and then 2 and a half weeks at home to get my motorcycle liscense. fun fun silly willy.

Looks beautiful! At least Adam has lots of girls to keep him company while he's healing... Better keep him in line. :)
Can you fit a trip to OBX in that summer itinerary? Great pictures. Are the girls keeping you company also?
I told him he was going to get me in trouble! To set the record straight these are Ian's girls... I can't even pronounce their names!
oh he is in line . . . the girls are under the impression that you are some kind of saint for letting him climb so much.
we'll have to take the motorcycle to the beach. that is ok with me.
ok, i believe you. very cool. how was the easter dynamite thing? It's a surprise, between rioting, earthquakes, explosive laden holidays and proximity to Turkey that Greece hasn't become one big pile of burned up wreckage.
