Time flies. Super busy at work, so I didn't really get to climb outside all that much. Been training in the gym a fair bit though. I also got puppy!! Little sweet baby Juniper Grace. She's pretty great; so much energy! Unfortunately, she's pretty much the worst crag dog ever.. We're working on that.. <br />

My brother and his wife came to visit me and see all of the Alaska. Unfortunately, my phone was stolen, so most of my pics are gone as well. We had a good time, did a lot of traveling, did a lot of drinking, etc. Unfortunately, I got called back into work for 4th of July weekend (sad face) and missed some hanging out time. They took my car and drove down to Seward while I was at work (sad face) and did a glacier cruise. It looked really great; I wish I had some of the pictures of it to post. I'll work on that. Here's a few I stole from Katy's Facebook (subsequently I don't really have any pictures with Katy in them.. Sorry):<br />

My good friends Erich and Maggie also came to visit me in July! It was a good month. I hadn't seen either of them for... years?? But it honestly didn't feel that way when they got here. We managed to do a bit of climbing out at Hatcher's, did a lot of traveling, and did a lot of drinking, etc. We drove up to Talkeetna, drove down to Seward, did some hiking, and saw a bunch of cool wildlife everywhere in between. Another great week for me; I'm super glad to have friends willing to make the trip up here to kick it and see Alaska.<br />
<br />
I caught some silver salmon out of Ship Creek right in downtown Anchorage..<br />

Climbed outside a little bit; managed to get out to Hatcher Pass a couple times and finish off some new climbs:<br />
<br />
I did a pretty sweet crimp line called Honky Tonk Badonka Donk. It goes at V10, which seemed valid to me. I haven't crimped that hard in a long time; things got a little bloody. Fortunately I was able finish it pretty quickly. <br />
<br />
I also did a V10 called Bear King. It's a pretty sweet feature, but the crux really just revolves around the first move. Not even the first move; I'd say getting your feet off the ground is the real crux. After that, it's not so bad. <br />
<br />
I ticked a few V9s off my list recently as well. I finally took down Heartbreaker, which has given me more trouble than anything else I've tried in Alaska. So glad I don't have to go back to that one..<br />

Muffin Man Sit is one that went up recently. I managed a second ascent after a few goes. It consists of some powerful undercling movements into the stand of Muffin Man.<br />
<br />
Breakdown Sit was another second ascent for me. Some techy footwork and sharp holds into a sweet topout. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, that's pretty much it. It's been raining for the past month, but maybe it will clear up before the snow sets in. The final goal of the season is to go out and take down Mr. Universe. It's supposed to go at V12. I've spent one day on it before and managed to do all the moves. Putting it all together would be pretty tough, but I may be able to give it some good goes if it's dry enough.<br />

Oh yeah, I also went up to Wasilla for their climbing comp. It was pretty fun. Unfortunately it was a 4-way tie for first, so it all came down to who had more flashes. I flashed 3 of the top 5 problems, and my buddy Hunter won out with 4 flashes. Better luck next time maybe. On a side note, Alaska has got to be the worst state I've ever seen for competition climbing. It blows my mind. Can't wait to get back to the lower 48 for some real climbing/comps!<br />

The weather is starting to shift in favor of the climbers here in AK. It was a weak sauce winter with minimal snowfall. Pretty sure Boone, NC got as much, if not more snow. Fortunately, this has led to a pretty early season for outdoor climbing. The higher elevations are still inaccessible, but we have been able to escape to the south over the past couple weekends for a bit of good fun. <br />
Byron Glacier has some great lines and impressive boulders. We were able to get on a few hard lines before the limited daylight passed us by. We started at a fun/sharp compression line called Shere Khan. I botched the flash, but managed a second go send. This climb led to one of the worst flappers I've ever seen. Lots of skin missing. Blood everywhere.<br />

Falling Up is a 2 move wonder on a pretty steep face. I worked some sneaky heel hook beta and managed to fire it fairly quickly before moving on to an unrepeated Todd Helgeson line called Frog People. Apparently Todd flashed it for the first ascent and gave it v9. Some of the strong climbers here contend that it may well be v10. Who knows. I feel like I very nearly flashed it, but then it took a few more goes to actually send. Hunter pulled it out just before me for the 2nd ascent, and I settled for 3rd. Good problem to go sit under if you have limited pads to work with. We didn't get to climb on anything else, but there are a lot of great lines to get back out to. <br />
The past 2 weekends, I've been going out to a recently developed boulder down the Seward Highway. The SCAR boulder sits down by the mud flats and is very tide-dependent. David Funatake and Todd Helgeson developed this boulder a few weeks ago and put up some good lines, including a v10 link-up called Crouching Shark, Hidden Octopus. Me and Hunter were super psyched to get out to try and repeat this thing. Our first trip out proved unsuccessful, but we figured out some of the subtleties of the movement. Last weekend we made it back out and we both managed the send. This time I got the 2nd ascent, with Hunter sending a few goes later for the 3rd.<br />
And here's the vid of all that shite. <br />

Had about 2 weeks off from work, but still felt busy. Holidays were good. The parents came to visit. I bought a fake tree. I've also been a little sick, so really trying to take it easy. Not looking forward to the coming couple months at work. Seems cray busy. Did some cool things recently; got some pics.<br />

That's all for now, no big updates. Climbing is good. I'm leaving Anchorage tomorrow and will be out of town through the end of Feb. Work stuff. Should be good though. Get my tan on.<br />

I still have a lot of work to do before i get any photos uploaded, but here's a quick vid of some of the climbing out at Weiner Lake and Chickaloon. Sorry the quality is shite, but i was running on an empty memory card and had to shoot standard def.. totes bogus. <br />

In other news, i hurt my finger a little, but i'm pretty optimistic that it isn't so bad. Gonna try to hit the gym tomorrow and see how it holds up. <br />
In other news, it takes 3 beers (and 3 glasses of water) over the course of 6 hours to give me a killer hangover the following day.<br />

A laptop. i will blog again. With photos and videos and everything. It will definitely take a little time to catch up with everything, though. i have shit-tons of material and no time. And i have to learn new editing programs. i miss my old programs. <br />
<br />
So anyways, to start at the end, i went climbing on Black Friday. In Alaska. i climb with this dude named Hunter Bullard up here and he's pretty freakin strong (for a ginger). He convinced me to tag along with him out to Ptarmigan to check it out and get some footage of this thing, Mr. Universe. It's one of the hardest boulder problems in Alaska, and i'd never made the trip out to that area. Turns out, it's quite the journey to get to this boulder.. We have limited amounts of daylight these days, so time is precious. Unfortunately, travel time to this boulder is about 12 hours by foot, 5 hours by bike, or 1.7 hours by air. But, that's bouldering in Alaska, ya know? Its no big deal, just everyday life for us Alaskans.. Regardless, we made it out to the boulder with about an hour of daylight remaining. Clearly not enough time for me to put this thing together. But, I did all the moves and Hunter repeated it for film proof (it was mad dark; which makes for a great bike ride out btw). Here's a sicky awesome video of some sicky gnar climbing:<br />

Actually feeling quite old these days. My fingers always hurt. <br />
<br />
Just got back from Nevada. Turns out it didn't really snow while i was gone. Temps are prime and climbs are dry! Rather than do anything useful with my Sunday, i went climbing up at Hatcher Pass. Daylight is becoming increasingly scarce here, so i only had one problem on my list. <br />

Drive By is the most accessible climb out at Hatcher. It sits about ten feet off the road (which is usually open). The road was closed for some wimpy snowfall, so it took about 30 minutes to hike/jog out to the boulder. Anyway, it's about the best piece of granite i've seen in AK. It also has a good landing, so it's perfect for a solo sesh. The stand start is supposed to go at v10 i guess. Apparently i have no idea how to judge grades anymore. The stand took a handful of goes to stick the crux and the rest wasn't so bad. The sit adds just enough movement to make the crux quite difficult. i need to try to take a day of work this week to go back out and finish the sit!<br />

i have an insane amount of catching up to do. Not all that much climbing, but some cool experiences nonetheless. And some climbing. Things have been a lil weird since moving to alaska. It's very far away from everything. Everything. It's difficult to find motivation in a place like that. The gym is ok at best, but the people are psyched. That helps some. Still, it isn't like it was back in NC. And the season is short. i'm in Nevada at the moment and ak will be trashed with snow by the time i get back. Nevada is quite nice at the moment. Hot for climbing, but a welcome change from the damp chill of anchorage. i've been super busy with work, but today was a welcome reprieve. i've been controlling f-15's all week, but they cancelled their sortie today. So i got to climb. It was quite dope, but i didn't have a crash pad. <br />

<span style="text-align: center;">One fall on that thing and my elbow smashed a rock pretty good.</span> i decided to wait for someone else to come along and try it so i could bum some pads. It didn't take long before 6 or 7 people showed up (with pads). Feeling much more comfortable, I sent in 2 more goes. Managed to flash a couple of variations in the boulder too. Oh, and Alex Johnson and Kati Peters were there (Kati Peters is a total babe btw..). And i've got a crazy long day ahead, and posting from a phone is crap. i promise i'll catch up at come point.

Thus I missed the cool stuff in Vail. World cup bouldering or somethin.. Either way by day two I braved the tornados (3 times (my goal in life is to see a tornado)) and made it to Boulder. Despite lack of food along the way, The Spot made my#1 stop upon arrival. This gym is so far superior to anything I've experienced.ever.still. I haven't been there for quite some years now, but it was pretty dope. They have ipads for people to fill out waivers.. I felt unworthy to be in the presence of such trendy dopeness. I encountered such big wigs as Abbey Smith and proceeded to flail as she (and most other chicks) cruised my projs.. that's ok though. I had a blast. I think I'd be a decent climber with a resource like The Spot. My car is so packed to the brim, kinda sucks. I can't find my toothbrush dammit.<br />

So, I haven't posted for quite some time now. A lot has happened over the past year and a half, but not much in the way of climbing. I figured the rest of what I do with my life isn't that interesting, thus no blog posting. If you are curious and didn't already know, I joined the air force and I've been in training this whole time. I've been to Alabama, Panama city fl, and Oklahoma city. Again, not much in the way of climbing. It is barely an exaggeration to say that I literally didn't climb in 2013. 2014 ain't looking great so far either.. Even so, I am optimistic, for I have officially finished my training and I'm off to Alaska for new adventures! I basically busted ass so that I could earn the Alaska slot; my career field doesn't offer the best selection of places to be stationed. I'll be in anchorage for the next 3 years or so which is pretty dope. There's a climbing gym that doesn't look like it'll make me want to slit my wrists, so that's cool. And I'm hoping there's a bunch of untapped potential for new climbs out there. Not that I'm very strong these days, but I might get back in shape. Either way, I'm psyched. I'll be posting a good bit along the way hopefully, as I'm planning on hitting Boulder, Leavenworth, and Squamish. <br />
Here's a couple of pictures of the lil bit of climbing I've experienced while in okc.<br />

I don't really work much any more, so now i need good weather so that i can get through the days. Of course, being Boone, there is a limited supply of good weather. Last week it finally reached freezing temps and I was able to work on the Concave Proj for 2 days. Made good progress, but still no send. I'm starting to get a little tired pressuring myself on that thing. It just gets so few good days out of the year that i can't help feeling like i need to send it every time i go out. One of these days!!<br />
Anyway, like i said, weather is mostly bad here, so a few days ago Tilley, Josh, CBreeze and myself all decided to get away up to the New River Gorge. To boulder. We drove through rain during 90% of our drive there, so I didn't have the highest of expectations. Our impulsive decision to make this trip turned out to be a good one. We went to the Junkyard Cave on the first day because it had the best chance of being dry. Despite the waterfall that was cascading down the face of the boulder crag, the roof was quite dry. Junkyard Cave may not be the most glamorous of destinations, but it is a really fun time and it totally works your core, ya know? Our abilities in the cave really reflected the fact that there is no roof climbing in Boone. Everyone flailed pretty hard on some juggy problems, but we walked away with some good sends. Check the 8spray for the deets bros. <br />

</tbody></table>After that, we desperately tried to get in touch with Friksn Sponsored Athlete Nic Spruill so that we could stay at his place as had been planned earlier but then apparently we didn't have enough climbster cred for him to call us or answer the phone and let us stay at his place which is totally understandable because, well, yeah. We're still wiating to hear back from him. So we stayed at the cheapest place we could find. Hillcrest Inn or something instead. We had a buncha beer so it was pretty cool. Key was in the door type of place. Total bro party. So the next day we decided to check out Cotton Hill. We started at Cotton Bottom and walked around for a while checking out the rocs. It looked like there was some good stuff, but a lot of it was still a lil wet. So, we decided to start out at Cotton Top instead. Some of the topouts were still a bit wet, but we knew the sandstone would probably dry to prime conditions within the hour. We started at a little roof up at the base of the routes (which looked sick) and did some fun steep climbing for a bit. There was an obvious next-gen project on the right side of the roof that's dubbed the Yeah V14 Exists in the South Proj. Tilley ticked up the holds and Josh and I were makin it happen, but then it just got too hot for the send. I'd say it's a lot like God Module, if God Module was hard. Next time!! (photos to come). Cotton Top is sick! I had a really good time just running around and looking at these giant boulders scattered across the hillside. One problem in particular got us all pretty amped up. Half Moon Tilt was the last problem of the trip, but it was worth spending the time and effort on it. It is a pretty enigmatic climb due to the unique feature and the excess number of chalked holds. Once we figured it out, it wasn't so bad. Or maybe it was, I dunno. I managed to do the sit, Josh was stupid close and ended up doing the stand, CBiebs pulled some shit out of his ass and thrutched his way to the top of the stand as well (pretty awesome). And Tilley got epic. He probably should have sent, but he was kinda out of it at the time.. <br />
Anyhow, haven't enjoyed climbing and hangin out that much in a long time. It was a fun-filled trip full of good memories and fast food. Zebracakes and Type gay diabetes.<br />

<br />
My most recent ascents came at HP40 of all places. I had vowed never to go back there after being devastatingly shut down in years past. Still, I wanted to compete in Star Chasers for the Triple Crown and maybe get a little redemption. The day started poorly when we missed our exit and arrived rather late for the comp. Fortunately, we were able to register and try to recover the day from that point. I think we all had a diffucult time getting our heads in the spirit of competing, because none of us ended up doing very well. I was slow to start and lost some psych when I saw that none of the labels had star values on them.. I also lost some psych when I realized that V3 is still stupid hard at HP40. So, obviously I thought I had a better chance at V11. Tilley was feeling equally unmotivated and accompanied me over to God Module. I tried it for quite a while that day. Tilley left to try to do some more new problems, so I tried it by myself with my mini Organic pad, then I was going to leave but Rami and Doug showed up. I tried it some more and still couldn't do it. I think I was pretty close to doing the first move, and the rest of it didn't feel that bad, but I just couldn't put it together. At least I wasn't jumping off of the ground for the start. Anyway, I quit trying to climb hard and went back to chasing stars. I did a lot of new climbs, including a sick V5 highball to finish the day. I was nowhere near placing, but I guess it was a better HP40 experience than I expected. Except for the part where it was over and I had to drive back to Boone so that I could work the next morning. <br />

Since then, it's been non-stop work, air force (I went to Chapel Hill to take the TBAS test and hopefully did well. Still haven't gotten my scores back. While I was there, I went out on the town with Purpur and some of the people that he climbs with. It was a pretty crazy scene for sure. Frat Stars, Sorostislewts, Skinny-jean Hipsters, and even Brodie Climbsters. I saw a lot of interesting things that night. The girls there are not like the girls in Boone. It was about 28 degrees, and all of them were walking the streets in their lingerie, all of the bros were wearing their blazers and boat shoes, rounds of 3 dollar PBR bottles were being bought left and right, and somehow we (the climbers) were in the middle of it all. The last place we went to had nothing to drink for under $4.50. Thus ended the night. Still, I had a really fun time and I'd like to go back. I finally felt like I found a place where I fit in. Nothin says "Home" like standin on the sidewalk, suckin on a girl's neck while she texts another dude.), rain, and sickness (and a couple days of feeling stupid close on the Concave Proj). I'm finally starting to feel a little bit better, but it'll take some time to get back to full strength. Fortunately, everything is wet.<br />

This was one of my first times really getting to climb with him. It's pretty amazing to see all of the work that he puts into developing new boulders down there. He spent like 4 hours building a landing and cleaning holds for one problem, and then he flashed it. It's crazy to think of putting that much effort into something that lasts for only a moment. He called it Naive Melody (V4), but it was pretty hard.<br />

</tbody></table>He got video of the climb, so i'll link it in when/if he posts it. I did a handful of climbs while i was down there, including Glassy Heel Hook (V4), Stranger Than Friction (V7), The Devil (V6), and a couple more that I don't know the name of. There is a stupid amount of climbing that I want to do in the Gorge and i'm psyched to get back!! <br />
<br />
Also, i just got a new lens. The Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. I took a few test shots recently and so far i really like it. There is definitely distortion at 11mm, but the image is still mostly sharp. Here's a few snapshots that i've taken so far:<br />

To start, it's Triple Crown season and my psych level is super high. I've been doing the Star Chasers category and it has worked out quite nicely so far.<br />
Hound Ears:<br />
With bad weather in the weeks before the comp, i didn't get to do as much training as i would have liked. My skin was soft and the only circuit training i had done was in the gym. Even so, i was looking forward to the challenge of taking on both Tilley and Purp. Comp day rolled around and it was super cold. It was also snowy/raining. As much as i didn't want them to postpone the event, it turned out for the best (mostly). The only downside was that there was an 'afterparty' that didn't get postponed. I may have had a bit too much fun, dropped my beer for no apparent reason (beer in a cup, so it really went everywhere (including all over my shirt/pants)), decided Cookout would be an excellent idea, and decided sleeping in my car would be an even better idea. The upside to sleeping in my car was that I was already at the meeting spot for carpooling. The downside was that i didn't actually sleep that much due to the frostbite that was surely setting in on my legs and feet. So, feeling a little sick and quite tired (don't worry, i fixed the 'tired' problem with a couple Monsters (but that only added to the 'sick' problem)), we were off to the comp. It turned out to be the best conditions Hound Ears has ever seen. My goal for the day was to win and to do the three four-star problems in the field. This includes The Crusher (V10), which I have been itching to do for years. Oh, and also to have a killer good time and climb loads of boulders that i had never done before. I started off by racking up a decent amount of stars, then went to try The Crusher. I almost did it first go (closer than i'd ever been before) but it just got worse after that. I blanked out on all my beta, wasted way too much energy/time, and didn't send. It was a struggle to finish the day after that (pumping out on v4), but i managed to do a lot of good climbs before time was up.<br />

And.... On to the Stone Fort. This year the comp fell on the weekend after Hound Ears. Fortunately, it was just enough time for most people to recover (not Doug, his hands were... ). <br />

Good ol Andrew Miller was nice enough to let us crash at his place. We arrived a little late for pre-reg, but we chilled for a while and drank some free beer, watching some serious climbsters in action (tanktops, speed climbing and everything) at the Urban Rocks Gym. Someone stole my Stone Fort shirt and koozie. What really killed me was listening to everyone talk about the "Hound's Ear comp." Next day, we got to Montlake way too early, hung out for a while, and eagerly awaited the 80 degree day to come. Long story short: The 'easy' climbs that get stars are all slabby and slopey (aka hard as shit), and all i had was a pair of blown solutions and no slab skills to speak of. At Hound Ears, I fell a handfull of times all day. At Stone Fort, V2 slabs were kicking me off left and right. My feet were bleeding by the end of the day (they actually weren't, but they might as well have been). I got dehydrated on 3 separate occasions and nearly decided to quit each time. But, I did learn a lot about how to climb and i won some cool stuff anyway. Some rando beat me at Star Chasing by 8 stars, but i still got second with 121, and i also did the Premium Blend Light Roast the fastest (nobody else did it, but i was still really fast dammit). Shout out to all the people that killed it again (i'm too tired to list everyone tho). They also premiered A Fine Line by Andrew Kornylak. I thought it was badass. Off to the afterparty (which i though meant free beer and fun). I had spent all of my cash on water that day, so when i saw that they were charging 3 bucks per beer, i was a bit sad. Fear not, we'll just hit up a gas station to buy more beer for cheap and have our own party, right? And we'll just walk to the nearest one, right? An hour and a half later we made it back with our beer. And we didn't get stabbed or shot. Things were really going our way now. Did you know they have 32oz Miller High Life cans in Chattanooga? <br />

When the night was done, I was a little disappointed that I didn't get that ride to Atlanta that I was looking for, but I guess that's ok. Waffle House for breakfast (awesome) and back to Boone (by way of Asheville....). Good shit.bclevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13684972673178461636noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730210297834736066.post-53402327244656711892011-09-06T22:09:00.000-07:002011-09-06T22:09:15.862-07:00Drinkin every night because we drink to my accomplishmentsYeh, joking, of course. Just a heads up, no pics in this post, so all you people who spend 20-30 seconds on this page for the 'eye candy', go ahead and bail. The focus of this post is to observe [one of the] personal motivations for climbing. While there are many reasons to devote our lives to the seemingly insignificant and largely misunderstood action of climbing a rock, some are far more inspiring and less selfish than others. Those are the ones that tend to get more coverage (like Sharma stuff (being one with 'the nature')), as they portray the sport in a positive light, and provide a positive influence on new climbers. While i respect all of that to the fullest (and try to live by a personal moral/ethical code that adheres to the highest of standards), let's be honest with ourselves for a minute or two. People are selfish and have motives that we don't like to share with others (and not just in climbing). Personally, one (among many (don't judge me)) of the reasons that i became very involved with climbing was to gain the approval of others. i met a lot of people that i respected and admired and envied, and i decided that these were the people that i would like to be friends with. i thought that being a good climber would translate to being able to gain the respect of those people. While i did improve quickly for a while, it was ultimately an effort in futility. i find that most of the people that i had aspired to be like (the people that i thought that i had formed solid friendships with), have disparate viewpoints. i feel pretty disappointed when i don't recieve a call from a friend who is visiting town (or whatever; i guess i'd rather not provide copius examples from my personal life). Anyways, i guess my point is that pushing yourself to gain the approval of others (sponsors, strong peeps, ladies, etc) may lead to rather evanescent and ultimately disappointing results. Climbing can be the most therapeutic form of recreation, and the most torturous. Find what works for you, and stick with it!! Forreal.<br />
*Also, to any gumby out there who may think that climbing is perceived as desireable by an attractive female (or any female, for that matter), just do yourself a solid and quit. Devote yourself to something like basketball, baseball, football, weight lifting, fraternities, tanning, lots of money, puppies, tanktops, drinking way too much, and being a bit of a douche. That seems to work wonders.

A step in the right direction anyway. I've finally started climbing outside again and so far this seems like it will be a pretty killer season. I've been out to Grandmother a couple times with Zack "Slow Motion" Silberman and Leanna Lockhart to get on Sunday Service. I have tried this problem in years past with very little success. I was pretty stoked to find that the moves no longer feel like such a struggle. And I can finally crimp with my left hand again!! Either way, I've gone out there 3 or 4 times now with no success. Zack was able to put it together pretty quickly and did it without sticking the dyno in isolation! Pretty sick. We were filming, but Zack's camera loves to run out of memory right before the send. So, he did the problem second go next time we were out there for the vid. That kid is sick strong and always fun to climb with. Leanna and I also seem to be very close to doing this climb, and I'm syked to get back out there soon!!<br />

</tbody></table>As much as I want to do Sunday, I think it's good to give it a break for a bit. Today, I went out into the Backyard with Josh Shepherd and got on some sick climbs! It has been a while since I've been back there, but I'm officially hooked again. There is a killer project dubbed the Massive, and it is quite large. The finish looks like it will be absolutely terrifying, as it is really high, and the landing drops off another 8 feet. Either way, Josh and I worked this thing for a while and found some sick beta (2 different methods) and we made good progress for the day. Some of the holds still have some flaking to do before they can be deemed solid, but that just adds to the experience. Here is a pic of one of Josh's early attempts:<br />

The feature is reminiscent of Roof of Death, but this is much bigger and more difficult. It is tough to say at this point, but it could run at about V8/9. Can't wait to get back out there and give it some more work!!<br />

Yesterday I did some tubing down the river for my bro's birthday, and today we went mountain biking at the somewhat new Rocky Knob. It was killer fun. This was my first mountain biking experience, and I had a really good time. The beginner loop is the only one open right now, but it is super fun, and I'm not in any shape to be doing anything more advanced. Even though it's a pretty short loop, it has some pretty techy spots and a super fun downhill at the end! I definitely recommend it to anyone who has any interest in biking. My bro got a GoPro Hero for his bday, so we took some vids and it looks pretty sick! I'll post it up as soon as he gets it online. Until then, here is a video of Perspective, as promised. Thanks to Zack for putting this together so quickly. And Josh's name is spelled Shepherd.<br />

It bothered me. A lot. So, we headed out there again today with the slate wiped clean. Still a project, still no name, etc. Zack and Josh were nice enough to let me have first go, and I was able to put it together clean this time! It helped to take a couple rest days. This time, we got footage (even though it's pretty ghetto), so that should be up soon. Anyways, Zack took next go and also fired it! Then Josh was up and he cruised all of the opening moves and almost fired it first go. Pretty sick improvement over last time. He'll def get it soon! Josh suggested the name Perspective, and I really like it. Simple and appropriate, so it's finally over. Perspective (v9) is born. Get out and try this thing, lemme know what you think!<br />
<br />
Then we hiked around and looked at / climbed some of the classics. Our goal was to make it down to the Concave Proj, but of course we got too wrecked. David put up a right exit to P0wned and I went over to try this little steep project that usually seems to be wet. It looked soaked, but was quite dry. We messed with some holds, found a good way to start the problem and after some efforts and very little remaining skin, I sent the rig. David came in and did it a couple goes later after punting off the topout. This thing will eat your skin if you aren't careful (or maybe even if you are) but it is still super fun movement, and pretty tough. I figured it to be a hard 7, but seems harder if yer short. As 3 new lines went up today, and I'm not one of the young guns any more, I called it Geriatric Hat Trick (7b (to compromise)). I'm psyched to let my skin heal and get out there again soon. There really is a lot of fun to be had in the neighborhood!<br />

Golf Season! love it. Too bad golf is way too expensive. I went out to Mountain Aire Golf Club to play a round with my dad the other day. We haven't played there in years, even though it is beautiful and really well-maintained. The price is just a bit out of my range. Peak season rates just kicked in and it was $37 on a weekday. I know it could be worse, but that doesn't change the fact that I can't afford it. I played really well considering I only get out 2-3 times per year. 83 on a par 72 course. Gotta work on my putting game! </div><br />
And since the only people that read this are climbers, I guess I'll throw in a bit about my recent climbing exploits. First, I went down into Linville Gorge with Leif, Josh, and Bill a few weeks back. I had been down there a couple times before, but never did much climbing. I'm not gonna lie, I never cared for the slick nature of the rock, not knowing names or grades, and climbing in 90 degree heat. Even so, this latest adventure was different. It was a fun crew, and I was able adapt to the rock pretty quickly. With a little change in mindset, I was able to have a hella good time. I got on some really great lines that I don't know the name of. I did a fair amount of climbs, but the only one I know the name of was Helter Skelter (full marks for fun and aesthetics). I even got on some highball that may be a project. It didn't seem like it could be harder than v4, but it is very committing at the top (so I bailed (multiple times)). Apparently Joey Henson and Mike Stam have been spending a fair bit of time recently searching and developing new boulders, so I can't wait to get back down there and see what they've found!<br />

Boom! Now we're up to date. While I'm not too interested in going out and doing repeats in 85+ degree weather, I can get psyched on new stuff. Josh Sheperd and I went out a few days ago and showed the Power of Silence project to Zack Silberman. We were both pretty worried that he would just walk it, but it turned out that the foot-cut crux was just as challenging for him. We all got shut down on that move and called it a day. Yesterday, I was going to the Dump to boulder with my buddy Dylan, but we got rained out and went to the gym to do routes instead. We met Zack there and learned that he got super stoked and went out that morning for a pre-rain session to try the proj some more. And he found the beta to get through the crux. After seeing a video of this, I started to freak a bit and toyed with the idea of an afternoon session. After a fair amount of consideration, we decided to give it a go. The new beta is sick! We were both able to put in some really good efforts, falling just short of the final move. My skin was getting torn up and my elbow was about to explode, so we called it a day with the knowledge that either one of us may do it first go next session. After talking to Josh, we all decided to try again the next morning around 8am. I loaded up on ibuprofen, threw some chapstick on my tips, iced the elbow, and finally managed to fall asleep after visions of sending danced through my mind. This morning seemed to come too soon, but fotunately it hadn't rained through the night. I was feeling quite stiff and sluggish at first, and I had a hard time warming up. We all stopped at Katilfafish for a while and Drexel, David, Zack and Josh all got on it. It looked awesome, but I knew it would kill my elbow so I resisted. One more quick warmup and we went over and sprayed Josh down with the beta. His feet were giving him problems, so after some effort, he told me and Zack to go ahead and have a go. Zack and I decided to do a coin toss to decide who would climb first, just in case one of us sent first go. I won the toss and ended up flailing around, desperately trying to get my feet on. Fail. Zack's go was better, but still no send. My next go, I made sure to get every hold as perfect as possible and made it through the crux, made the final move, and barely snagged the jug out of sheer desperation. After a little hesitation on the topout, it was done. (note: there was a spotter wristwatch dab. it didn't affect the send, so after a group consensus, im allowing it.) I don't really have a lot to compare this problem to in terms of difficulty. It has been a while since I've climbed anything at that level outdoors. I'm tentatively saying V9, and after toying with a handful of names, I think that Delirium's Edge is appropriate. Oh, and I didn't really bother getting pictures because there was a video camera running. Until the send when it ran out of memory and wasn't running any more. So, maybe we'll get some footage when Zack and Josh do this thing. It's a killer line, very desperate to the very end, loved it! <br />

<u>The Reality:</u><br />
2 guys<br />
3 areas<br />
10 hours<br />
100 miles<br />
1 ego kept in check (maybe 2, I can't speak for Zack)<br />
<br />
I'm sure it's an idea that many people have toyed with, but I have never heard of anyone actually following through (with good reason, as I would find out). The Idea: I heard from Dalen Gray and Zack Silberman about a plan to drive around the Boone area and do all of the classic V5 boulder problems (in a day)! So, I set about compiling a list of all of the V5's in the area and came up with a list of 31. While maybe not all of these were considered "classic," I liked the idea of 30 problems in a day. In typical fashion, I whimiscally decided on a Friday and got in touch with Zack and Josh Shepherd. Of course, it was the only day that Josh couldn't go climbing. So, with a 30% chance of rain all day, Zack and I set out. We got a slightly later start than we planned, due to a bank stop, Wal-Mart stop, 2 gas station stops (had to look for a deal on Monster engery drinks), and a dog on a roof. <br />

</tbody></table>We finally reached Blowing Rock around 10:00am and started our day at the Mushroom Boulder. We finished it off quickly and headed down to the lower area. I had picked Blowing Rock as the first stop because of Roof of Death. I had only done it once before and felt like I could have died. I really wanted to knock this one out while fresh. Fortunately, we both did it first go and moved on. The plan was to be out of Blowing Rock by 11:30am, but that was wishful thinking. Even though we did every problem in one or two goes, the hiking, unpacking, and packing took much longer than expected. So, we set out to The Dump and a couple other random spots on 221. <br />

</tbody></table>We thought we were moving quickly, but apparently not, as we reached Granmother around 4:00pm. We also thought we were making good progress on our list, but apparently not, as we had only done 11 problems. Up to this point, Zack had been filming our ventures, but his camera ran out of memory after a couple climbs at G-mom. This was about the time when desperation set in and we had to change up our plans. We had planned on going to Lost Cove and the Backyard Boulders, but we didn't really know our way around the Backyard, and it is still a rather obscure spot. Unfortunately, it has about 7 V5's that we had planned on doing. Lost Cove only has 2, so we decided to just do as many as possible at Grandmother and go to Lost Cove if time allowed. Still, I wanted to do a full 30 problems, so I decided to add in a few more climbs to the list. I obviously wasn't thinking clearly at this point, as most of them were harder than V5. My body started shutting down at a more rapid pace as we made our way from the top to bottom of G-mom. A day like this takes its toll both physically and mentally. I felt sick and hungry and tired and wanted to quit climbing very badly by the end. Finally, it got too dark to climb any more and we called it a day at about 8:30pm. It felt so good to be done and driving back home! In the end, I only did 24 climbs, but they were all so damn good! That was the most that I've ever been beaten down by climbing, but when it was all done, we were pretty amazed at the day that just taken place. Totally worth it!<br />

</tbody></table>If you'd like to plan a similar adventure, I would recommend the following:<br />
<ul><li>Pick a grade that you are comfortable climbing within 1 or 2 tries</li>
<li>Compile a list of all the climbs of that grade at major areas using rockclimbing.com and 8a.nu</li>
<li>Convince a couple of people that climb at the same level as you to go with you (I wouldn't go on this adventure with more than 2 other people or it will simply take too much time)</li>
<li>Plan on an early start! Or bring a lantern. You will want more time than you think.</li>
<li>Bring a lot of food and water. Snack food will not cut it for a day like this.</li>
<li>Pack light and move quickly. You will want more time than you think.</li>
<li>Have a super fun time experiencing as many of Boone's boulder problems as physically possible!</li>
</ul><br />
So, what makes a classic? Is it the history of the climb, the highball factor, the fun factor, the aesthetics, the level of sandbagging? Probably. The best way to find out is to go and climb it yourself.<br />

I went out to the Backyard Boulders to climb a little bit with Purpur, Leif, and Shepherd. I've been to their boulders a few times but never actually got to climb. Most things were dry, so I got on a couple classics: Evil Monkey (V6) and Quagmire Arete (V4). There was also a new one: Do The Damn Thing (V4). I was able to flash all of them, but they all felt about the same difficulty: hard. Then I convinced Josh to check out Comfort Arete with me. He gave me the rundown on beta for how Nate and Jimmy did it, then showed me how he had been working it. I didn't much care for the Jimmy beta due to the tweaky tendon, so Josh and I set to work on his method. After trying a lot of different ideas, it started to come together. Finally, we figured out some crazy shiz that ended up working with a nice flow. It went first go after figuring it out, so I'm not really sure of the grade. I took V9, but I could agree with V8, especially for the Backyard. Purp, Tilley, and Josh all have to do that thing and come to a consensus grade. And congrats to Tilley for doing AHR, that thing is impossible. And Taylor, massive punt. He did Black Crack. And then fell. Next time for real. <br />

And of course climb some rocks. I went out to Blowing Rock yesterday to try some moderates that I had never done before. It was really warm, and difficult to find the motivation to get started. I warmed up a bit at 5.10 wall and then headed down to Roof of Death with Ben Newton and Zack Silberman. We gave it a few efforts and then started the send train. Zack did it, then me, then Ben. We all got pretty epic on the top, but I think I was the most sketchy. It felt so greasy! Then everyone else in Boone showed up, including Sam Dospoy, Nate & Holly, and Charlie Long. We had enough pads to cover from Roof of Death to Harvester of Sorrows. We hopped on Raw Terror, and after figuring out some topout beta, ran another train on it. I feel like both climbs were hard V5's, but I'm sure they feel better in colder weather. It was seriously hot and we all went through our water very quickly. Still, that's no reason to stop climbing. I went ahead and did a repeat of Desperate Bitch and Harvester as well. All of the lines on this boulder are so good! Sam styled through Raw Terror after finally committing to the first crux. Charlie did Bitch (V6), cruising the first section multiple times before finally figuring out the top. Also, Holly made quick work of Harvester of Sorrows (V4), using the OG beta. From there, we went over to the 45 wall. After seeing Zack's beta for Left Start Center 45 (V7), I was able to do it in a go. Zack was playing on Flagyl, but it was just way too hot to get serious. Charlie also laid down some crushing on Stonehouse (V5). We thought he was going to come off the top, but Holly rushed some chalk to him and he was fine. Seriously hot and greasy yesterday. Finally, I tried my old nemesis, AHR. I didn't do it. I'm as close today as I was four years ago! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to finish that problem. Oh well. It was a good crew and really fun to just hang out with so many people. We even saw Travis Mathews and Jay Tilley on their way in for the evening temps (still probably 70 degrees). But, back to work now. I've gotta make as much money as possible if I'm going to make it to Colorado!<br />

I was thinking, and 'sexy' is a strange word. I don't really understand it. It seems to stems from 'sex' which is synonymous with 'coitus,' but, one couldn't very well say, "Damn, girl, you lookin <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbj2KR70G2s2TL4oW07sI7NbY5CccAG6N_3a1lfCpvlb6vQkjr0PX0T5beC80da23yEWNcvbWl_UTbgHGCSQc1oPnB_ru_4GqRvgQjLFJlrSG1CQM_RehktDeR1ISvt51ERMUePVmwzN14/s320/fat+lady.jpg"><span style="color: yellow;">coitusy</span></a> tonight!" Right?<br />
<br />
Oh, and fresh V5 update: Erich Purpur has really stepped up his game this week to try and finish off Jay Tilley. He did 5 in a day a few days ago, and did 5 yesterday, and 2 more today! Tilley, you may have to do some sneaking around to fire off a few more in the next couple days (and congrats on y-crack!). <br />

It has been a great few months, and I have done about as many boulder problems as I could hope to do. In 3.5 months, I have done 60+ new problems (which is 2x as many as I usually do in a 12 month period)! That is a lot for me, but there is still so much to come back to. I am most excited to get back to Laurel Snow and finish off some old projects (and hopefully some new ones as well). Maybe next year! <br />
<br />
Some of the Boone crew peeps made another trip here for spring break. It was a pretty fun time, with lots of climbing and beer. The race to 100 V5s is entering the final stretch, with Jay Tilley taking a slight lead. Erich Purpur has to step up his game in the next 2 weeks if he wants a shot at the title. Fortunately, he has about 30 problems stowed away to choose from. I believe the official count is in at JT: 90 EP: 85.<br />
Early in the week, Erich and I took Tilley and Dalen out to Cumberland to check out the hottness. It was pretty sick! Erich and I both knocked out our projects. He did Salo's Roof (V9) (he gave it v8) quickly and easily. I tried Slurpee (V10) for a while and finally stuck that first move, made it to the second big move and stuck it too, then fell.... Considering the fact that I only stick the first move 1 out of every 40 tries, I didn't have high hopes for doing the problem. Did it next go (see video)! Then we went to LRC to play around. There was a Boone climber reunion at the Super Mario Bros. boulder (seriously like 15 of us)! That was pretty fun to see everyone again. Later, I tried The Shield a little bit. I had never been on it before, but I really liked trying to climb such an amazing feature. Very physched to get back out there next year! I have been making it a goal to try problems that I would normally avoid. Throughout the week, I tried The Shield, Psychosomatic, Interplanetary Escape, Dugout Traverse, an unknown highball (see video), The Brain, Osiris, and several easier problems as well. Normally I wouldn't try them because they look scary or easy or hard or slabby or strange or chossy. They were all really fun though.<br />
<br />
Nate and I went out to a cool spot yesterday to try The Brain, Down Payment, and Osiris. He did The Brain (V5) second go and we headed to Down Payment (or is it called Eviction Notice?) We couldn't do it. That thing is hard! I think I have projected that more than anything else since I've been here. Oh well, maybe next time. Off to Osiris. This boulder is amazing. It is a cool overhanging face that is full of compression moves and a tall topout. We built up a landing over the river that was flowing at the base of it, and went up to clean the topout. I wasn't sure if I wanted to try it or not until I checked out the top. I decided not to try it. Way too scary for my taste. Nate got on it and did it first go of the day! It looked like it climbed so well that I decided to try. I gave it some good efforts and took some good falls before I finally reached the topout. Then I fell again. That is the only place on the boulder that you really don't want to fall. I landed pretty hard, almost overshooting the pad. Thanks to Nate for preventing that! I had to lay there for a few minutes to let my heart slow down. That is easily the biggest/worst fall that I have ever taken. I checked myself for injuries and found my shoulder to be a little off. It hurt to lift my arm past a certain point, but I couldn't tell how bad it really was. I decided not to try again, but then I figured that I wouldn't get another shot at it if my shoulder turned out to be injured. With all of the adrenaline, I figured I could get another good go. I got to the crux and my foot blew. I quickly got back on and made it up to the topout again. This time I had an idea of what to expect, so I had better body positioning. I still had to grovel, but I pressed through it! Climbing on <a href="http://vimeo.com/20736479"><span style="color: yellow;">Osiris (V10)</span></a> is definitely the most epic (and sketchy and terrified) that I have ever been on a boulder. I'm really proud of myself for trying this one and not giving up!<br />
<br />
I'm going to take some time off from climbing to see what happens with the shoulder. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid. Here's a video of some stuff (I just learned that the unknown highball at the start is called Golden Throttle):<br />
