Cumberland

Yesterday Me, Brion Voges, and Jacob Fellers took a trip out to the cumberland boulders "Pepboys". Main objective was for Brion to snag what i believe is the third of ascent of a hard bloc called Gross's Roof.
Of course Voges delivered in a short 15 min.
This boy be gettin STRONG!

Here's the vid.

A Triple Crowners Advanced Circuit

So me and Voges decided to spend a day at Little Rock City circuiting all the classic advanced problems. We started off with the idea of trying to do 15 problems V7 and above, starting at one end of the field and working our way to the other. We filmed every problem, and i've put together a video for all you triple crowners looking for some beta!

Not bouldering season yet

So this weekend Bvoges, Kasia, Nate and I planned a trip to Boone, Nc to see if the bouldering temps had started up yet.
Needless to say, they hadn't. We arrived friday night, driving up Grandfather mtn through clouds of fog, and a wet road.
We continued down to the bottom of lost cove were we camped for the night.
Saturday ended up being a little better then expected.. Humid and miserable in the morning, and got dryer throughout the day.
We made our way to lost cove early where we just messed around on some classics. Nate did the Patio Arete, and I did a cool boulder called Chapter 13.
After this we dominated Quiznos, and met up with Voges and Joebeth. Then we went to the M1 boulders to find everything basically wet. We warmed up on a cool v5.. i climbed a RAD boulder problem called Instinctual. Which is only doable if your about 6 ft tall. Then me and Voges tried Don Johnson... it was SOAKED!! So we flailed a bit, and called it.

Then we all made the trek to the blowing rock boulders where again.... everything was slightly wet.
Me and Voges beat through some bushes and finally found this problem called Room with a View. He and I both sent.

Due to the wet weather, and the most likely possibility of it raining that night we decided to go on home.
We ate at black cats, and hit Dairy Queen on the for some treats.

Here's a small clip from the trip

Summer time

Nothing too exciting has been going on.. Been skating ALOT, and training ALOT. Been getting very little video of our nightly adventures.. but hope to have a fresh vid up soon!
Also been making weekly trips down to the Concave to try Southern Comfort... Both Brion and I have now one hung the route. Which to most would seem like we're close to the send, right? Well unfortunately this is not the case.. linking the two parts together seems to be a project i may have for a while. More training i suppose.

Here's a clip i threw together of one of our last days in the RMNP.
This one features Brion Voges crushing one of the many v12's he sent this summer.

Last days in the RMNP

So today was our 2nd to last day at the RMNP. And me, kasia, and Jon had some unfinished business to try and take care of..
The day started somewhat mellow.. i was syked to try Freaks of the Industry. but since it was like 80 degrees and in the sun it was a waste of time. Kinda bummed we bolted up to Sunspot where Jon got aggonizingly close! He decided to rest for a bit and kasia wanted to go try Riddles in the Dark. Also SO close.. and somewhere in the middle of all this me and Jon ran up on the other side of this big slab and found a small looking cave... We jumped in expecting stashed pads or something.. but instead found a somewhat decent boulder problem, uncleaned. I decided to clean it up.. and send.. calling it We looked like Giants, v9.
Hopefully ill get some video of that up soon..
After this I decided to go give some ditch efforts on Top Notch... and surprisingly got really close!! Falling on the last move from the start 5 times!!! Trip is now extended an extra day and i will go back on tuesday to finish it off!
Projexts bout to go down!!!!!!!!!

Here's a small un-edited clip i threw together of one of my better attempts on Top Notch.

Salt Lake City, UT

So i've been in Salt Lake City Utah for the past week attending the 2009 OR Trade Show. Hanging out, walking around what is basically the biggest outdoor retail store in the world. I competed again this year as well. Having my best finish in a large scale competition yet.. placing 7th after qualifiers, and ending up 4th after the finals. Definately syked with the 400 dollars that will help me get my ass back to the south.
We've also been climbing now 2 nights up at the Little Cottonwood Canyon. First night i was able to take down Bully.. a project i left undone from last years trip. Also did a couple cool lines called Copperhead, and All Thumbs.
Tonight we went to an area called the Gate. By looking in the guide book it seemed to have the most variation of easy to difficult boulders. So we warmed up and Kasia, Jon, and Isabell were able to climb a nice 7b+ called Bar Fly. While i was able to finish Pro Series, 8a. Also checked out a few other classics up the road: Triple Threat, and Ben Moons Eclipse. Though we didnt really climb on these boulders they were most definately two of the best blocs i've seen in cottonwood canyon and probably any area ive visited. I will return.
Here's a small clip i threw together of us bouldering at the Gate Boulders.

Colorado Love

Aight so i've been in Colorado now for a little over 2 weeks, and things thus far have been incredible.
I've set up shop in Denver with my good buddy John Gass(Chattown OG). Been skateboarding TONS at a sick local park just down the street. Always syked!!! Also got some new kicks yesterday. BLAM!!

So, life for me and John is basically revolved around 2 days of climbing and 1 rest day. (rinse and repeat)
We've made our way through some badass spots, cleaning house wherever we go. Johns been climbing super well! Having already smashed a few v9s , v8s, etc etc.. I have also sent a few a cool lines that i got owned on last season including: Clear Blue skies, Wildcat, Ground Control, and some others.. and since its getting quite hot out at Mt. Evans i see us spending alot of time up at the RMNP. STOKED!
Also been getting quite a bit of footage, but have had little to no time to update.
So here's the first vid from the trip so far.
Check out my Vimeo account for the next 2. They're taking a while to upload. so i can't update them to the blog just yet.
