New Vid

Times are good right now.  As a continuation of my last post I'd like to say that I finally did Abandon .13c.  PSYCHED!   This one felt harder than any other route I'd done, including the .13d Man Show one route to the right.  Now that the redpoint burns are done I am happy to move on.  What's next?  Psychopath?  SoCo?  Apes on Acid?  The list goes on...

Anyway, in between redpoint days in the canyon I found myself bouldering a bit.  Actually, there was about 3 weeks where I didn't even try Abandon.  Then I went back to it and made a significant high point, an entire bolt higher, falling one hold below the anchors.  So, it was then that I declared Monday as take down day.

Here is a video of Nate Hefner doing the first ascent of his new found boulder problem Do Not Disturb.  We both managed a send this day.  It didn't look like either of us would send but then somehow we pulled it together.  We felt that it was harder than a lot of V8s.  So, V9 it is.   Hope you like it and good luck finding it!  :)




I'm on the road this week leading to a weekend at the RRG.  Psyched.

That is all.

Loving October

So far so good this fall.  The first weekend in October was spent at the Triple Crown at Hound Ears in Boone, NC and the following was Triple Crown at Stone Fort here in Chattanooga, TN.  My time in between the two events has been 100% climbing, split between days on a rope at Twall and the power endurance roof areas like Dayton and another local Chattanooga area.  I've managed some quick sends on the boulders but haven't come up with anything too impressive on the sharp end yet.

To make all this even sweeter, the fall colors are coming out in an impressive way.  Green, red, yellow, and orange seems to be the backdrop of every day.  The weather has been absolutely perfect too.  Mclovin it.  

Here is a little media from the other day with Nate.

The remainder of the week is gonna be spent at Little River Canyon and Twall.  I'll be on the road for a week beginning Tuesday leading me to the RRG that weekend.  Psyched!

That's all for now.

Hound Ears 2012

It couldn't be anymore evident that I had a good time at Hound Ears.  I only took four pictures from the day and am still sore two days later.  Why is that good?  It's good because we all climbed so much!  It was an incredible Saturday morning for the first comp of this years Triple Crown of Bouldering.

I do, however, have pictures from my day bouldering with Nate and Sammy at Blowing Rock.  Big thanks to Sammy for picking up the camera while I was climbing.

And now we are just three days away from the beginning of the Chattanooga Triple Crown festivities.  

Way psyched.
