We Have Arrived...


After 3 days of driving
and one day of apartment seeking, Nikki and I made it to Boulder and found a great place to live.
I couldn't be happier. Although I haven't felt in-tune with climbing I'm sure once I get back from the trade show all will fall into place. Since arriving to Boulder I've had a few sessions at The Spot (which were lackluster,) in preparation for the Mammut Bouldering Competition. I don't have any expectations since my competition record is pure shit. I just want to feel good and climb my best, which seems far away at the moment. I'm excited for the end of Summer/Fall season up in RMNP, once I return to Boulder. After the trade show I will be spending some time with my Father. Since he lives in the Yay Area I'm sure there will be some climbing involved too.

Finally, liberation....

Three days in a row without any rain. Now its just hotter than hell (80+ deg) outside. I finally touched real rock yesterday at the Gunks.

Not the best conditions, the rock felt swarmy but none the less we were outside. Now I'll have to wait another month or so before I'll be done with everything that's going on in my life, to climb in the, PARK....

Rain Again...

There's been little relief to all this rain, so all I've been able to do is climb inside.  I've been daydreaming of RMNP, but with a busy next month I'll only be able to daydream.  I'm hoping to make it by August.  That's still a long time away so for now here's a video of The Automator (V13) which I climbed last October in excellent conditions (something I've forgotten about).  Maybe if the weather keeps craping out I'll post some videos from the gym, hahaha.
