Jojo mojo

Our favorite South American itinerant is back in town! On her continuing adventures, JK finally arrived in NYC this week after cliffdiving in the Brazilian jungle and skiing in the wilds of Quebec. This time of year, a girl this tan is either from Rio or Jersey...

Lots of climbing last night, B and I worked a slew of routes while waiting for Joana to show up in the downpour: V1,V2,V2+,V3,V3,V4,V4. Brian hasn't lost any form at all, working through the grades and onsighting V4. When JK finally arrived, she warmed up and quickly worked her way to V3/V4, and we jumped on a bunch of different problems in the V2-V4 range. Joana has been climbing hard in Brazil, and it really showed, especially in her endurance and stamina. Nice, hard session.

Finished too late for food at Sheep Station (kitchen closes 10:30 on weekdays, BTW), so we cabbed it back to the LES and headed for one of my favorite local hole-in-the-walls: Le French Diner. Mussels almost as good as G makes, cheap red wine, crispy fries (no ketchup!), and steaks with eggs on top, all served in a tiny room by the owner himself.

Good to see you again JK!
