The last few weeks I have been far less diligent than normal about posting. I’ve been sport climbing, working, and preparing to head back to school in the spring.

My sport climbing adventure to Wild Iris was humbling, motivating, relaxing and not without some bouldering. Fall had arrived at the high elevations in Wyoming. The aspen were brilliantly gold, red and orange and the weather was warm and dry. Saturday we got out early, warmed up on a 5.10d and got right to work [...]

Massive granitic ranges punctuate the otherwise inhospitable landscape. The most prominent of these ranges is the Wind River Range, where Davin Bagdonas, Jesse Brown, David [...]

A few years ago I wrote about Paul Robinson repeating Echale and lamenting that it was so manufactured. I also wrote previously about how the younger generation should be stepping out and developing not just new problems but new areas. Nearly every climbing legend has reached such status because of their willingness and ability to [...]

This weekend, looking to reconnect with my old friend Ben Scott, I made my way to the Rawah Wilderness with Justin Jaeger to check out some new boulders. Ben has been calling this area the Canal Boulders, and the cluster was discovered by Ft. Collins local Jeremy Medley. For those who don’t know, Ben has [...]
