NSRB


Greetings homies! I'm back to bad ass Beverly. Come check out NSRB rage at Finz in Salem tomorrow night at 8pm. We are happy to collaborate with Murph for a great local cause(Beverlybootstraps.org) and happy to provide the entertainment for the event. It seems that it should be a success and I hope to see everyone getting loose in honor. Peace!

The California Desert

Haven't posted in a while.... So a lot has happened this past week... United Airlines sucks. TSA sucks even more. But, Joshua Tree, now this place is worth its weight in gold. At first it was just going to be a stop through and now has consumed the whole trip. Although I will be back for Bishop in a few weeks, for now its TRAD time. The bouldering is very very stiff here and it makes you wonder about the strength of the Stonemasters.. "Uber strong, brah." With a cast like, John Bachar, John Long, Lynn Hill, and many others I can understand the sandbagging.

Joe and I have been here a week and have done a lot of the trad classics.. So much fun to get back to the sharp end. Soon, I will post a video featuring some awesome boulder problems we have done. And some other scenery from the trip.. Well, Enough for now. Time to rack up!!!

Bishop Booked

"Its the 1st of the month, get up, stand up, get up!"

Today I finalized plans of going to Cali for two weeks. Once again, climbing and camping at world class venues in the high desert. My friend Joe Dion and I will be flying to LAX next Monday the 8th, to pick apart J-Tree and Bishop California for epic trad and bouldering opportunities. I am very thankful to travel. Cali has been very good to me over the years. The North Shore isn't going anywhere.... why not?

I traveled to Bishop last year in April and needed to go back.. It is the best. This time I have to make use of lost time. Problems will go down in a hurry. I have a lot of projects and climbs I got to do during this trip. We will be warming up at Joshua Tree National Park. This will be my sixth trip there so I should be able to show Joe the trad classics! Just writing this post sends many memories through my mind of good friends and good times spent within Ryan campground. Thank you guys. More to come...
