PSYCHED!!!

Currently I'm in Israel. I've been climbing once already at a cool crag in the north called Gita, with a high concentration of hard routes, and will continue to explore more of the brilliant limestone that Israel has to offer,

Here is a crazy large praying mantis.


Here is a detail from a mosaic by one of Maya's distant relatives.


Here are cows, with the town of Gita in the background.


And here I am sending the easiest route at the Fuel Sector of Gita, "Super Fuel," 7a+/5.12a. My belayer is Ofer Blutrich, Israel's resident stongmo, who has been kind enough to kick off my Israeli climbing tour.


Stay tuned for more, the best pictures have yet to come.
