Working Man


This is an awesome pics of a BALLA! Fernando is the climber on the Kor-Ingalls Route, Grade III 5.9 380 ft. This picture was taken in the Fall of 2009. Five stars for rocking out with the peace signs hundreds of feet away from the ground.

Today I took it easy in the AM. I worked all afternoon and evening. Then I met some buddies at the Southern Sun. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend a day, at least a work day.

Life is Wonderful


The picture above is from the Fall of 2008? probably, but I am certain the climbers are Virginia and Matt. The Climb is Scar Face in Indian Creek, Utah.

Today I climbed King of the Mountain III 5.13a 600ft with Jim. Jim reminded me at the end of the day that I hang dogged on the 5.10c 2nd pitch, becuase it was a sandbag at the grade. Well at least for the onsight, in my opinion. I struggled hard on the fourth pitch, the crux. I held on to all of the holds but could not link it even on top rope. So i will have to go back and climb all 600ft again without falling. A new project!

For the sunset I longboarded the fraser river trail, the usual. Yesterday I did a hike in the forest. I am so excited to see Taisa on Friday in Salt Lake City Utah!

Time flies


Hi everyone! I am in Winterpark now. I am working in Northglenn. And I am trying to climb as well as I may. That is a picture from Lone Eagle Peak in 2005. The Climber is Weston Boyles. The route is an alternative to the Standard North Face Route on Lone Eagle Peak in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. This weekend I am planning on climbing the same route with several friends. Hopefully we don't find too much snow.
