Erich and I finally went on a bouldering trip together! It seems that every year we plan a trip and it never pans out… Well this year it happened and it was a good one. Although the weather didn’t fully cooperate we still managed to get our paws on some southern sandstone for a few [...]
New Misty Chalk Bag
Went by Misty yesterday and they were slam out of chalk bags! What did I do? Went to footsloggers and got this bad boy. Bout time to feed him with some chalk. Mmm…tasty. By the way, these are the best chalk bags on the planet. Wearing anything else just wouldn’t feel right. Also, did you [...]

Two Twenty One
221 is holding, period. I had a great weekend at Grandmother and 221. I feel like I climbed better on day two – it’s funny how that works. We got on a bunch of good stuff including Boulders Boulder where I did the cool problem on the left side of the face for the second [...]
Rack Upgrade
Clinton hooked me up with a good deal on some of his cams. The new addition filled my rack out nicely. Too bad it’s bouldering season!
221 Boulders – Cube, Iceberg & Carjacker

302 Days Later
It’s been quite some time, eh? I don’t need excuses because this is my blog, not yours. Get your own damn blog! Anyway, I’ve almost been back in Boone for a year coming up in December. It’s great to be back up here. The climbing is still killer and the seasons are still beautiful. My [...]
Video from Whitetop, VA
I’ve been back in Boone for a few weeks now and it’s been great. I’m starting to learn a lot about the real estate industry. Recently my dad and I took a trip to Whitetop, VA to capture some amazing footage. I must admit the views are as good as anything I’ve ever seen. The [...]
Climbing Jargon
I found this video through Splitter Choss’s Real Holiday Gift Guide for Climbers. This video is promoting the “Climbing Dictionary“. It was pretty funny so I thought I’d pass it on to you. Looks like a pretty sweet coffee table book and for 15 bucks it might make a nice xmas gift that won’t break [...]
