Been a minute

So whats up!!
Seems like life has been super lo-key recently. Nothing spectuacular, nothing groundbreaking.. just me training at TBA and sport climbing occasionally.
It's been fun, and motivating.. especially since jwal recently rolled back in town and is keeping my syked. BOOM!

So word, despite the hot weather recently me, kasia, and jeremy decided to take a trip out the the new spot they're calling "Royal Blue" near ktown. We hooked up with Mitch Trice who took us out and showed us around. huge thanks. So while we were there we got to check out a cool little spot they called the golden nuggets.. and the twelve's. Gold nuggs was first. which hosts some stellar rock, small roofs, fun warm-ups and a couple projects. One of which i was able to snag. Calling it " the glory of kings".
This project basically consists of some badass sandstone, perfect start holds, followed by two nice incuts, and a huge toss out to a sloper on the arete.. hard match then a dicey highballish finish. SICK. to say the least.
Unfortunately we weren't able to get footage of this climb due to my absent mindness.. but whatever. stellar bloc. go do it!
After this we packed up and drove out to the 12's. which is somewhat of a smaller area.. and was actually one of the first areas developed in this facinity.
This area seemed to be based on one mini cliff line that ran for around a mile?
Not bad stone, some classic moderate roofs, and whatever.
A couple nice lines we did in particular included a wave featured v6. This problem is almost identical to the wave we all know at LRC. Just continuous slapping up a slopey arete. Its veeeery nice.
Then we trudged out to a problem mitch first climbed called "bird of prey" Me and J both flashed and started to focus our attention on a proj. to the right. J battled a wasp, and we started to chalk up some holds, and figure some beta. J quickly flashed for the F.A and i followed behind in a few efforts. No name for this problem yet.. but its definately one for the books. Nice jug start, intense and bunchy two move crux.. and a nice head wall to finish.
Get out and do this one mitch! You will enjoi.

So with our day finished at royal blue, we headed back to the Mtown and stayed with my rents for the night. Got up the next day and rolled out to the lilly boulders.
It was nice, i repeated some classics, and J straight stomped Testify in the near 80 degree heat.
Monster.

WORD.

Also, heading to the Gravity Brawl in New Jersey tomorrow. No expectations. Just syked to chill with some peeps and climb some cool problems. Come out and ball!!

Here's a clip i threw together from those 2 days.

Today was sick! 

Went out to Little River in search of some dry rock.. and despite the constant ass loads of rain we were able to stay dry, and climb some fun routes.

Didn't have much time to climb.. but was able to climb a very nice 7b+ called Gecko.

Word, with all the rain in the next week i will return

Oh, and we got the brand spank'n new HD Camera in the mail this week!!! Gotta get out and buy a charger n shiz and we're in business! So hopefully we'll have some vids up soon.

Been Chill'n

Lack of updates recently..  i know.

kasia sent her camera back to Nikon to get fixed and cleaned.. we sold our video camera this week too on Ebay...  Which is straight cause we bought another one!! and its HD!!!!! UHHH!!

But yea, other then that.  been sport climbing. only sport climbing! 

Endurance is in effect, and im finally feeling in stride!!

As sport climbing goes we've been making alot of trips up to Ga.  Climbing on some immaculate stone, and enjoying the warmer weather.

Thinking of making a trip down to Alabama to try SoCo soon! Power endurance to the MAX!

Also heading to fosters this weekend to get on some uber classics and go swimming.

Hope to have something more entertaining up here soon enough.

Enjoi,

Deadpointmagazine video

So recently, filmaker Spencer Victory has been making trips down to chatty to film me on certain classic boulder problems of the Southeast.  The reasoning behind this video was to basically showcase some cool blocs, and to possibly give me a bit of recocgnition around the climbing community.  Though all of this filming was hard fucking work, there was a nice positive outcome on the whole situation!

This video is definitely up to par!  and props to Spencer on the edit/filming. 

Good stuff man!

Hope everyone enjoys it.

Cumberland Video

So here's a clip i threw together of some of the climbing out on tha cumberland.

The vids alright minus the midsection being cut out of Salo's roof.  SHIT!

While i was uploading it onto my computer for some reason the camera wigged and i lost most of the climb. So i cut it in the middle and started it up at the end... missing 7-8 nice moves out the horizontal bloc...

Other than that the vid includes:

Tommy on a warm up, v2

Jon Gass sending Riverfront v5

Tommy on Salo's Roof, v10

Me sending the supposed project.  now dubbed Seven Eleven, v11

Im really syked on this area... though its limited to only a handful of boulders.. there are still some sick projects on the horizon!  And you best believe i'll be back!!!

PEACE

Cumberland

WADDUP!!!!

So this past couple weeks have been sick.  Been doing alot of training at our local TBA climbing gym, kinda been working on my endurance, and power.  Feeling stronger then ever!! Unfortunately all the intense training brings along achy joints, and sore tendons..  but recently i have (for the first time) been trying to actually eat right, and lay of the coca-cola!

My inspiration comes from the dream of climbing hard!!! I've always been infatuated with the idea of making the impossible somewhat effortless.. i've been feeling strong recently, and know i can be stronger.

Time to get down to brass tacks..

On another note..  i've been climbing at this nice area that we call Cumberland.

Its got nice roofs, sick projects and classic warmups/moderates.

We went out again today with friends Janitor Rankins, Tmoney, Ian, and Tomas.

Main goals were to get on Salo's Roof 7c+, and another hard problem called Gross's Roof, 8a 

Peeps were amped today!!

First try on Salo's roof i made it past the last crux (basically finished) to the jug rest. Pulled right hand to this large shelf that ended up ripping off and hitting me in the chest.

From there i had 10ft flail to the ground landing on my back.

EPIC!

Luckily enough the shelf landed next to me on the ground, and not on my head.

Afterwards Ronnie fired the rig. I sent right after, and Tmoney came through in the end to finish off the 3 way!

After that we headed off to try Gross's Roof.

This climb is just about as close as the south will get to  "El Teco" the classic 8a in the Tanks.

From the start this climb felt impossible. but after trying multiple beta's I was able to solve the bloc for the 2nd ascent. This one i thought was quite difficult for me.. but im multiple days on, and feeling super sore from yesterdays training.

Tired yet syked!!

Sorry no photos or vids from today.

Been more focused on the climbing experience rather then sitting behind the camera at every possible second.

Get out and enjoi it!!

PEACE!
