When I first moved to Colorado, Mt. Evans was virtually unknown. For almost three years, only a handful of boulderers visited the area and I was lucky enough to be one of them. I was asked to keep the place a secret by the climbers who found it. This put me in a very difficult [...]

It is that time of year again, and Saturday I went to Red Feather Lakes with Chad Greedy, Brian Camp and Chris Craft. Red Feather has become a place for me to get really psyched on, as there are just loads of good hard problems to develop. Last season the new installations were The Vampire, [...]

Saturday was a beautiful day in the Poudre Canyon. Last weekend the Front Range was inundated with snow and it was nice to have a day of gorgeous fall weather. We climbed at the Gandalf Area on some great established problems. The river was down and the sometimes epic crossing was pleasureable. It’s always a [...]
