Unfortunately all is not well in New England. Last night we got hit with 8-10 inches of snow. We managed to keep the topout relatively dry by using a tarp, but it was a cold and steep hike up to the Speed Boulder. Our crash pads (not to mention just about everything else) were soaking [...]

Today Brian and I went up to the Speed Boulder, outside of Great Barrington. This time the lip was caked with ice from the storm yesterday and we could only work on the lower moves of problems. Brian climbed very well on his first day on Something From Nothing V12. He was also a hero [...]

We spent several hours trying to dry up some nice roof problems. I was impatient and just starting trying Busted Shadow V11. The problem [...]

Brian and I arrived in New Hampshire last Monday in a driving rain storm. Tuesday everthing was soaking wet, but we hiked around and saw some really nice things. Pawtuckaway is the largest bouldering area in New England and it is very pretty. There are two main areas, Boulder Natural, where the rock is plentiful [...]

Friday I arrived in KY after 1300 miles in the car and drove straight to the Cove, a powerband with lots of potential for hard problems. Timy Fairfield was there randomly and was very psyched on the idea of all the hard problems that could be done. My main objective was Ghetto Methods, a V10 [...]

The Petzl Rock Trip has made its way to Slade, Ky and the Red River Gorge. When I lived in Michigan I probably spent 25 weekends down there sport climbing and bouldering. There is so much rock down there and it is all very high quality. In my mind, the Red is a world class [...]

Andre DeFelice has made the 10th ascent of Circadian Rhythm V13 in the Poudre Canyon. He is the first person from Ft. Collins to send the problem. Sounds like he has been climbing alot up there lately. Circadian is one of the oldest, least repeated, most attempted and most amazing V13s in Colorado. This is [...]
