The spring weather in CT has been a mixture of hot, cold, and wet weather. Without much happening for me with climbing at the moment, I was lucky to head out one day with Ty. Ty has been trying a project in CT which might be one of the hardest in the North East. He was very close and then the weather shifted. Temps went from 50's to the 80's. We were thinking that anything that might have gone down would have to wait until next fall. But on this day something changed. Conditions went from a jungle feeling to a cold windy fall day. Without any plans we headed out and Ty capitalized on the weather which was a gift from the gods. No name yet but the grade is in the 8B+ range!!!!<br />

The last month here in Switzerland has been the same, ups and downs, some cool days a lot of warm days. Motivating has been a bit challenging for me.

What can I say, it's been Summer and the weather has been hot and rainy. It seams like Fall arrived last week and now the air feels crisp and the heat is coolin' off!<div><br /></div><div>I've spent most of my time lately preparing for the competition at the Nor'easter in Burlington, Vermont. I know it will be a fun time but like any competition I've competed in, I'm feeling a bit nervous about it. I just hope I can represent for myself in a strong way.</div><div><br /></div><div>After the Nor'easter I'm going to be shifting into more outdoor climbing and forget about the gym for a while.</div><div><br /></div><div>If anyone has a few minutes check out this trailer from some friends of mine.

Like most of the problems around Sydney this one doesn't top out. For me top outs are arbitrary. I mean I'm not concerned with a long top out that adds nothing to the difficulty of climb. I guess you have to weigh out the pros and cons for anything that seams dangerous. Fortunately this boulder just ends half way out a huge cave so there is really no were to go. I love to climb great moves and this one does not disappoint. </div><div><br /></div><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/18369528" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/18369528">Combat Wombat</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1191723">Phillip Schaal</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Phillip Schaalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12377794468143184201noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4878880550262724481.post-36118497049914768502011-01-02T09:16:00.000-08:002011-01-02T09:39:46.364-08:00Cowboys still do exist in El Paso.<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Helvetica;">Real cowboys do exist.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbcvmsLnQFE1oh6vEx4P63q7K7ruezNy2F6eudY5O5O6EasUCUK-abgmwhuq5kb5fbmMhFwtU3-U7GMAxlgYkWu1hf2vhxQC_OZaC1IEeKtyKp5kWndW45aeYxixVUlFzl7p9sk062FfQ/s1600/IMG_0218.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbcvmsLnQFE1oh6vEx4P63q7K7ruezNy2F6eudY5O5O6EasUCUK-abgmwhuq5kb5fbmMhFwtU3-U7GMAxlgYkWu1hf2vhxQC_OZaC1IEeKtyKp5kWndW45aeYxixVUlFzl7p9sk062FfQ/s400/IMG_0218.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557639798846156354" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6Tw7-oxe21fPzI2R07CbJhI5rRRZeUjsVPocbqTYeika3X3OpSVuo0WS5EXIfw8k2MxN-WZTOn61NpcOjcYsxodNwA76cJKpXHFr5EWhpcYOmxAHhW7in1KLE9uK1GYOoUJR_nmOJU0/s400/IMG_0220.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557643495162364962" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 400px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:medium;">I just returned from a three week trip from El Paso.
