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!

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.

An epic of epics shortly followed this photo on the Lumpy Ridge climb Pear Buttress.

Asia?

Need I say more?

Moving on

Heading out to Estes today with Brian. Looks like I'm gonna crash his couch for a while. I'm actually gonna try and see if I can't start into work at the Y a little earlier too. Money is getting tight, and if I could it would be great to start having the benefits of the Y, like free food.

Pretty psyched to try and get some projects in the Estes Area too. Definitely want to get back on Angry Man, which might be the hardest "V7" that I've ever tried. Would also like to check out some of the lesser known areas and problems around Lumpy. Psyched beyond belief after all of this rest!

Done

Well I've sucessfully made it up to Colorado now. Currently I'm in Winter Park hanging out with my little brother. Not skiing. Sucks. Probably will spend just a little more time here and then be off to Estes.

Once I get to Estes, I'm pretty psyched to get out to Lumpy Ridge and try some of the problems out there. I'd also like to maybe jump on some multi-pitch stuff, if the stars are aligned. It would also be really cool to make it down to the Boulder area and do a little bit of climbing around there before work starts.

The time until work starts is drawing near. Things are gonna change!

Zuluflex V6

Uncut Yogi

Didn't send but here are a few shots from Max of me on the super classic V6 Uncut Yogi.

Had a pretty good day yesterday. Was able to send 3 V5s in one day. Definitely the best day of climbing I've had down here. I was also able to tick off several super classic easier lines. These are the days of climbing that I live for!
