Weekend at thet Meadow....

About freaking time we got some cool weather!!!!!

Bill and I were at the Feed Lot again this weekend - it rained on us Sat - but not UNTIL we decided we wanted to start climbing - ugh! But we drilled 3 new routes - one cave route - one route with a 4 foot horizontal roof (and jug ledge over it- like a surfboard - really cool) and a techy vertical route with a sloper boulder problem finish.

We climbed yesterday - it was great! Nice and cool - almost perfect!

A really nice girl hooked me up - gave me a bag full of draws to use as fixed draws - and some cash for bolts - THANKS DANIELLE!!!

I'll give you'all more info when we finish the area and send all our projects =)

Some New Stuff...

Two new routes at the "Feed Lot" - one I bolted for Bill for his birthday - probably about 12b - its long....maybe 60 feet or so....maybe 70...with some HARD boulder problems.
I bolted another line too - this really fairly steep, but intermitently feature white wall - its really cool.....stay posted =)
We stayed with John in his really cool cabin at the New - Totally what I want as a bachelor pad - just one room - basically a shed.....here are some photos...
I need to figure out where to put my big screen tv....

Visit the Fam - and the State Fair...

I went home to see the family last week - it was rad =)

It was great to see Dad, my Grandpa, and my Grandma -

My grandfather in the 50s with a bunch of fiends built a hunting camp - and it was a nice camp - we grew up going to vacation there - well some jerk face burned it down, but we got insurance money - so we built a new one! Its not the same, but its really nice...

i went to the WV state fair on Friday with Jacqueline - totally made 30 bucks - if you pay the dude 10 bucks - you get to "try" the money route and if you do it - you make 50 bucks...so 10 bucks to get in - ten to climb - voila!


added a couple new routes at the Feed lot on Saturday with Bill - once we get that place up and going I'll post some route info - stay posted.

I started training this week - gonna train for the fall season - ran 20min today, did abs and pushups......

Good Weekend

Lets see - good weekend - I drilled 3 routes this morning - or was that yesterday morning? they all blur together - they are on this really cool tall boulder - out in the woods somewhere - where I won't say =)...at least until we send all the good routes there - then we'll post a TOPO...

Another guy has a new area as well - we did a new line there (12a) - that was really cool - also - he didn't get on it today - but another guy and I worked another of his routes (with the obligatory hang to not steal the route) - its really cool - its a good 12b - hard but asethetic boulder problem to a ledge - then another boulder problem - slabby but vertical - kinda cool...

Anyways - we'll post topos of both areas once we've had our way with them - stay posted.

Here's a video from a couple weeks ago - Andy - you're going down next time...

We uh..well had a little sword fight from Daniel Brayack on Vimeo.

Matt and Katy Photos

Here are some photos from Matt and Katy's engagement session...=)

SUPER fun.

Coopers last weekend - and some Video

I joined Nicole Hanson - and Paul (whatever your last name is) at Coopers Rock this weekend - for a rainy filming weekend - it actually worked out not so bad - we bouldered basically as hard as we could saturday and go hosed Sunday...we filmed "Ain't No Leaner", "Tomb Raider", and "Colorful Corner."

I'd like to try and get at LEAST two more video trips in here - in September and maybe in August....

not sure though...life is hard. (NOT)

Da meadow.....

Nothing like spending a day at the Meadow with the likes of Greg Kerzhner, Zak Roper, and Matt Fanning =)...

Someone squeezed a new route in at the white wall (I'm not sure who) - it is MOSTLY independent except for the bottom...its over to the right, near to the right of that 11a arete which is a few routes right of Low Brow...not bad - a good 11b....kinda cool crux - and a full one "hey kids lets go trad climbing" finger crack finish...
