Another One Bites The Dust

As predicted, I was able to get out and climb for a few hours today. BTO was rockin', "Don't bring me down," on the radio as I headed out. I met up with my friend, Brian, for some bouldering at Rimrock. The gnats were out, but the temps were great and the rocks were dry. We threw down on a project that Brian had scoped out last fall. It was great to be outside -- on real rock -- and we had a good session. On the way home Queen was jammin', "Another one bites the dust." Very appropriate as the project saw it's first ascent. Name: Murphy. Grade: V7.

The art of climbing in the rain

The foreseeable future is partially cloudy with a 30% chance of rain. Welcome to climbing in the ANF. Still, this is not enough to stop the experienced climber. I've been able to get out a couple of times this spring. The climbing has been great, and I've got my eye on tomorrow afternoon... Oh yeah, I'll be hittin' the woods.

Still, the wet weather has kept me indoors more than I'd like. That's why you need a good indoor haunt. And... I just snagged some new, rad climbing holds from AO. My brother, Nate, and I just put them up in my garage last night. We set a new route that is all the madness!

Climbing Rocks!
