RAIN

it's been raining a lot lately

yesterday we made it out to a climbing competition at adrenaline...

it was a pretty fun comp, jimmy climbed really well dispite his back pains...

i didn't warm up well enough and everything started hurting...

need to work on that...

the start of the triple crown is this coming up weekend...

the weather is looking pretty good as well...

tomorrow heading to LRC!

can't wait!

New things!

GOLF!

a few days ago jimmy and i went to Mont Lake, not to climb but to play golf! it was awesome! first time ever playing golf... and guess what!?! I SUCKED!

it was a fun time though! we will be back, but first we are going to a driving range to practice!

PIZZA!

I made a home made pizza last night! From scratch! It was a thin crush, pepperoni and cheese!

So psyched that it tasted good!

Nickajack!

Jimmy and i finally made it out to Nickajack to do some deep water soloing!!
It was everything that i expected it to be.
i was psyched that it wasn't too tall, but at the same time it was too high for me
i jumped off some climbs cause i was too scared to go higher!
next time, i'll try to do better!
here are some pictures taken by people that were there with us!
thanks again!

Back in Chatty!

We finally made if back home!

It's so nice to be home!

Riddles in the Dark

It's the one climb i really want to do at the park...
yesterday i tried it many many times
the right hand crimp felt greasy every time (bringing up some rubbing alcohol tomorrow)
i ripped open a hole on my right pinkie that made it harder to send
i figured out beta for the big reach but wasn't able to execute
i'm going to rest it up today
and fire up my project along with jimmy and jon who have business of their own to take care of!
looking forward to a great day!

Little Cottonwood Canyon

Leaving Joe's

last two nights we've been climbing at little cottonwood
first night we were at the bully area...

with a big crew of ppl, but most of them didn't even climb...

yesterday: jimmy had a great night...

started off with doing the bully (v11), then we went back down to the first boulder by the road and he completed copperhead (v10)...

then we proceeded up one boulder where he did all thumbs (v10)...
isabelle, jon and i climbed around on some crazy hard v4s, which eventually isabelle unlocked the beta on twisted dihedral (v4)...

today: we climbed at the gate area...

Jon warming up on the arete

jimmy had his eye on pro series (v11), he made the first few moves really easy...

the last move stopped him, but after a few burns he did the last move...

it was awesome! isabelle, jon and i tried the stand to what jimmy was working (super fly v8) but we failed because the right crimp was tiny and really sharp...

instead we started working on bar fly (v9 more like soft v8)...

after several minutes of figuring out the beta we had a send train going on it...

Bar fly

we then continued on over to the mr. smiley boulder...

jimmy sent two giant steps (v9), isabelle sent mr. smiley left (v8), and i did mr. smiley center (v7)...
