HorsePens 40: Boomslang Low

Joshua Reyes on Boomslang Low at Horse Pens 40 by Brooks Gallman

Located to the left of Slider and Cuts Like A Knife, sits Boomslang. To get to the low version of this you will need to go further down the boulder to the chalked up holds underneath. In the photo is Josh Reyes climbing out of Boomslang Low and even though this is probably his thousandth time to climb this route, the Alabama heat can definitely make an already difficult climb much more difficult.

You ever think about what things looked like 20, 30, or even 50 years ago? Every time I go through an older town or a town that has been restored to a vintage feel, I wonder what it would look like back then. Maybe I got caught up with Back To The Future or something, but I feel like it wouldn't look like this. Pretty crazy thought, but what about us? Isn't it fun to go back in the past with photos? Sometimes I dig through the old photos and think about how it might have been had I lived during those times. Would I have been much different? Would life have been harder or easier? I guess like this town, it has had some good times and some bad, but we all change, even the towns.
