SoiLL Psych

I've been looking at pictures of the climbing from back home a lot lately, and it is really getting my pumped to get back to Jackson and finish off some of the long standing projects that I have there. I'm definitely psyched to hang out some more with that solid crew that was all around in the fall. Good times will be had in the very near future.

Things to finish/start and finish!

Amoeba Brains
Some silly little .11b on Royal Arch Wall
Who Needs Friends?
Feathered Serpent
Voice
Lost Innocence
Don't Mess With the Bull
Cro-Magnon Warrior
Jared's .12c right of Lost Innocence

So many more things that I'd love to finish too if time permits, but this is the list of must do items! Gonna head up to Lower Chaos tomorrow and try and polish off a few projects and maybe find a new one or two before having to head into work in the evening. So much climbing to do and so little time to do it in!

Park Season Has Arrived

The weather has finally shaped up here in Estes, and things are only going to be getting better for the climbing here during the next few months. Definitely psyched to spend as many days of my season this year up in Chaos Canyon trying to finish off old projects from the years past, and hopefully put to rest a few new, and harder things.

Climbing here during the past few months has been quite exciting to say the least. I've been out on several 'exciting' multi-pitch adventures on Lumpy Ridge, with many bouldering sessions intermingled. I've hit a several of the familiar blocs in the park, and have again been working to put old projects from the years past to rest.

Things should definitely be spicing up here in the near future, so hopefully I'll have some great new photos or stories to share!

Until then, here are some oldies, courtesy of the Most Gracious Brian Martin:

Sweet Lumpy Bouldering Action at "The World's Greatest Boulder." I know of at least 7 other boulders that claim this same feat.


Angry Man. A long term project.
