High Plains Drifter

Finally! Proverbial monkey off my back! I have NO idea why I couldn't pull the trigger earlier for this climb. As in back in 2007 when I first tried it with Anthony Taraciso and Jarod Arnsten.

I watched  Anthony run laps on it and I would fall at the drifter move every, single, time. It probably helped that I went two weekends before this and figured out to stay on the wall.

Thanks to Mad Rock Climbing for the shoes and Organic Climbing for the pads and chalk bag. And to anyone else that has bouldered with me!

Enough talk! Here it is! Enjoy.



Thanks for reading and watching!

Amateur Hours

It has been a long while it feels like since an update on the climbing that's been happening. Let's get right to it...

This past weekend (3/25-3/37) in Bishop was a great experience of being served some great tasting humble pie. Only doing a couple problems, all of them ones I had never done before, was fun in its self. I

Scott Cory and I started the drive on Friday morning. He needed new tires. About 50 miles after they were installed, a loud bell went off. Low tire pressure. Thinking they didn't fill one all the way up, we put some air in it. After filling it, he noticed a hissing sound coming from the tire. He decided to get food and see if the pressure dropped after we ate. Sure enough, it dropped again. Finding another America's Tires was 25 minutes towards HWY 99. A little out of the way, but then a straight shot down to Bakersfield. Skip ahead a hour...New tires without a nail in it (old on picked up a nail within 50 miles of being put on). We're FINALLY on the road.
