Friendly Weekend Sessions










Saturday, Nori, Tyler, and I went to hit up some the Zepplin and Cart Bridge Boulders. It was a pretty moderate day for us. We had only a few new ascents, many repeats, and a few goes on some personal projects. This was Tyler's only second time outside, mad props.


On Sunday, Chris, Stephanie, Nori, and I went out to the lastest addition of the Gorge, Brown's Park. This was Stephanie's first time climbing outside, check out her flesh wounds. She seriously tore it up.Chris sent and I repeated a sick new dyno called Weird Science, in the V8 range with an optional death topout. 3 Amigos saw another ascent and a few laps by Chris and I. Chris finally found a new solution for the extremely frustrating $20 Sloper and made the sixth ascent. We then made quick work of a short power problem to the left of $20 Sloper.

What a day. I am always get so psyched when I get to go and pull down with some friends. Hope to have many more days like this one.

Mad Sessions


Man, tis the season...for crushing. We have nice cool temps, 307 comps are just warming up, and the Flaming Gorge is ready for some mad sessions. My hometown gym just hosted the first of six comps, for the 307Bouldering circut. So I was locked away setting the sickness for the climbers bringing their A-Game. Mad props go out to Micah with 307 and Colby and Justin Wood for the awesome energy and sessions at the Gorge. So many new climbs and repeats went down at the new area...Brown's Park. One boulder alone saw six new first ascents each just as good as the other. $20 Sloper was probably one of the best and unique v6s I have ever done. I am so psyced for the winter sessions to come.
