Some Bishop Photos.

Meshkat picking me up to head down to Bishop

Topping out some warm-up in the Buttermilks.

Last Problem I sent before the rains came. Hard to believe when you see the beautiful blue skies in the background.

The legend!

And that's it! What a trip! I did about 15 problems in two days. But hey weather looks good for the weekend. I'm off to climb in the gym. Time to get some strength.

I'm Out!

Bust!

Well Bishop sucked.

Haha.

Or at least the weather did. So I got two days of climbing in before Vancouver weather showed up and ruined the climbing trip. I did take some photos. Unfortunately my trip partner (Meshkat) Stole my camera and won't return it.

It took us two days to drive down and two days to drive back. On our first day climbing we decided to go to the Happy's to get the kinks out from the long drive down. Meshkat and myself mostly just warmed up and tried a few of the classics. The next day psyched to go to the Buttermilks we headed up and ran into some good friends from back home. A good warmup in the milks we got talked into checking out Dales camp where a couple awesome problems I'd never seen before were. So we head over to try "Zen Flute". First thing I learned about Dales Camp is it's way colder over there then the Milks. The boulders only get morning sun. So after trying the problem a bunch and getting shut down by small crimps my body begin freeze.

So at that point the day was over for me. I was ice cold and couldn't get back my mojo.

We headed out with sore tips and ready for a rest day.

Little did we know that the next potential climbing day would be sometime in the new year.

After some tough decisions we decided that waiting out the rain wasn't worth it. And checking all the close areas we decided just to drive back rather then lose anymore money on rest day boredom.

The only area within driving distance was Hueco Tanks a 17 hour drive. Unfortunately we had a dog with us so going there wouldn't have been fair on poor Maui.

So now I'm back and dreaming about where to go next.

Peace.

Bishop Tomorrow

Updates to come!!!

Peace!

Reel Rock tour!

Last night was the "Reel Rock Tour", I'll let the video speak for it's self.

I'm psyched to go climbing, I just don't know about all this white stuff on the ground outside.

Blogged down.

Sorry for the lack of updates.

Been a brutal last two months.

First my motivation went down hill.

Then my condo was filled with poisonous gas.

Then I moved.

Then a death in the family.

The loss of my brother has been hard to handle.

But I'll solider on, because I think he wouldn't want me moping around.

Squamish has been awesome the last week.

It's been cold. Today I spent the day up there with my good friend, Meshkat. It was -8 Celsius;

that's 18 f for you yanks.

I'm trying to whip myself into shape. I'm planning to go down to Bishop at Christmas and want to send a couple problems. I made a promise to a friend in Australia that i'd send his project for him...

Tomorrow is the Reel Rock tour in Vancouver. So I'm going to inject some motivation.

Maybe another bouldering day outside too.

I'll try and remember to bring my camera for some pics for you guys.

Peace!
