Castle Rock Trail Day

We met at TBA at 9:10 am
headed to Castle Rock!

There was a handful of us there, maybe 12 or so...

Right in the parking lot...
Someone had gutted out a deer...

We were all handed garbage bags, and headed down the trail to pick up all the trash that we could find. Ther wasn't that much really, but we still made a difference!

On our way down the trail two hunters on an ATV were pulling a gutted deer...

When we were done picking up trash, a bunch of us started breaking up a dead tree...

When we were done we headed to the cliff line to get some climbing done... Warmed up on some easier climbs, and then jimmy and i tried this fun 12... jimmy flashed it and i got to the top of it... it was a good head game for me!! i was psyched!

Last few weeks

We climbed at Horse Shoe Canyon Ranch last weekend for fall break!

Here are two pictures of Jimmy on Wood Grain Gripping...

We went to HP40 this past weekend!

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!

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!
