Obed, Tn

So we just got in from climbing at the Obed.. which ended up being a KILLER time!
Energy was high, and half the time my cheeks were on fire from laughing so hard..
But anyway.. we kicked of the day kinda warming up around the KB bloc (preferred).
Then we made our way down to the Classic 7b+ Jack Slap, which everyone dispatched rather quickly.
Next we went over to the Hume Problem,7c/+. which i was uber syked to get on.. after trying it briefly 2 years prior.  I was surprised on how it went! 1st go i found myself throwing at the crux move, which involves a semi awkward lunge off an undercling to a hidden shallow pocket.
And 2nd go, i was on top!  I must say.. in the past few years, i've climbed the majority of the problems in the Lilly Boulders.. and after completing the Hume problem i can for sure say its THE best in the field.  If your visiting... you must try this boulder!! 

So after that we walked up to O.P.P, 7a+.  First to fire the rig was Gunks Local Paul ?. Then Tommy crushed, then Kasia.. . and I also repeated the area classic.
Then we went down to a low roof traverse called Mojo, 7c. Everyone was syked and giving it some goes.. Though Travis and I had already sent the boulder, we were also gett'n in! In the end Paul sent, and I repeated.
After that we walked over to a hard roof climb that they call Recluse, 8a. The problem looked incredible, and i was syked to give it some efforts.. despite the last 3 holds being damp..
I worked out the bottom sequence on my 2nd try, and was falling off the last throw to the slopey jug.. I hate to make excuses but after 6 tries from the start slipping off the jug.. i decided it was a little too damp? ha.
Anyway.. after that we walked up to a cool ass roof climb that i can't remember the name of right now.. but it runs at around 7b+, and Big T Money straight smashed that rig!! 
Sickness.
Then we finished off the day doing a cool boulder called Johnson City Right.
Day was good! Like I knew it would be.

Im out,

Heading to the Obed tomorrow!
Friends: Tommy Morrison, Paul?, Travis, and Kasia are coming along.
Definately syked to try a few problems, Hume Problem, Recluse, and possibly take the walk down to the Tilt A Whirl bloc.
Should be a good time!
And since i've been on this video kick recently.. here's a clip from Kasia and I's last trip down!

-Jweb


Took a small day trip out to Rocktown yesterday to try a few classics and possibly a couple projects.. Chaz and Kasia came along, and were syked on finishing off a couple classics.
Kasia ended up sending the Sherman Photo Roof 7a+.. and Chaz ended up falling off the last moves of The Orb Direct, and Sherman Traverse! He was soo close, and im sure he'll be out to finish these off in the next week! 
Word.
I wasn't able to try the projects due to our short time frame.. but i was able to send a rare bloc in the back called Kearny Problem, 7c.  This somewhat classic boulder lies right off Rescue 911. I was syked!
Here's a little teaser.

Bishop 2

So yea, Bishop was amazing!

I had a great time chillin with some homies, and sick boulders. 
We started out our trip by climbing at the Buttermilks.
Where me and Jon G started trying the Mandala immediately.  The first day we both should've sent but with ideas of checking out the rest of the field we maneuvered our way to other boulders. The next day was a rest day, and with fresh minds, and somewhat skin we both ended up on top through out the trip!

Kasia ended up having a good first day, where she nearly flashed Soul Slinger 7c. and sent High Plains Drifter, 7a+.  The rest of her trip went super well. I think she only took like 1 or 2 rest days the whole time... burly..

Overall im very pleased with the trip! First time in Bishop, and couldn't have asked for better weather, or better friends! 

Times were fun, and ill probably end up throwing more vids and shiz on here eventually.
For now, heres a link to a small vid I threw together of me sending four nice blocs in the Buttermilks!

Enjoi.

Bishop 1

Alright, so its been forever since ive updated i know.. but since i've been sitting in the Las Vegas Airport for 12 hrs now.. i figured i might as well.

The past month or so has been filled with tons of action!
I returned from Boulder, Co around Feb. 15th. And have just been chillin mostly.
Climbing a few times around chatty, and also took a sick trip to Southern Illinois with my bro's
Scotty Gross, Jon Glassberg, Nate Draughn(pierced), Kasia, and the Ryan Carl.
Check www.jonglassberg.blogspot.com for that update!

After that, a week later me and Kasia were on our way out to Bishop, Ca for our Spring Break.
Bishop was killer! Easily the best stone/ climbing area ive ever seen.
Aesthetics, highballs, good weather, and the open range just littered with gigantic egg featured blocs.. incredible.
haha. also the occasional sloper..
During this trip i realized what my climbing really needs..
A. Crimp strength
B. A better head towards highballs.
Which im truly syked to try and work on!
Anyways.. im bout to run outa time here.
Ill blog some more when i get back home.

Later,
Jweb
