the recent
well the past two weeks have been exciting and quite stressful to say the least. but in hindsight everything seems to be on the up and up and i am psyched to continue with my european climbing trip!
I returned from Las Vegas about 2.5 weeks ago now after driving 2500 miles across the country to a LOT of welcome to the hood editing work. I pretty much did not stop from the second i woke up to...

Onward to Vegas
After a few days of rest and recovery at home, I am now very psyched to get back on the road and head to Red Rocks. It has been a while since I was last there but can still vividly remember some amazing projects back in the canyons! The rock in red rocks is an amazing reddish sandstone that has near perfect holds and incredible lines!
I have quite the drive ahead but am psyched to get back out...
on my way home
well it has been a crazy two months in Europe to say the least… I am on my way home and am psyched to get back and relax for a bit. it has been tough traveling and being sick but it has taught me a lot. it was great to hang out with a lot of friends and feed off of their high levels of psyche! i look forward to climbing with all of them again in the near future.
the welcome to the hood...
the sickness continues
I hate complaining but this is pretty much my life these days. What i thought was a 72 hour sickness has now turned into a 2 week full on sickness. I have now been sick, excluding 2 or 3 days for the past 1.5 months. I have no clue what I have but have now decided that i MUST go to the doctor.
I am in climbing heaven and cant do much of anything. it is such a bummer, but the psyche still...

sickness
the past week has been a bit painful for me. I finally got over the 2 week cold that i had and started to feel like i could again climb well. I had 2 good days where i managed to come agonizingly close to sending both anam cara in silvretta and blinded by the light in brione. both of which would have been 1 day ascents however i was unable to pull through and make the send on either. then the...
swiss update
i have been in switzerland for a little over a week now and the weather has been perfect. I arrived feeing quite jet-lagged as i had been in europe only 13 days prior and pretty much had no idea what time it was for a couple of days. However, I felt good on the rocks and was psyched to make a quick 2 day ascent of “somewhere in between” in magic wood. the line was put up many years...

fata morgana/assis/angama chipped
i just received word from a friend in Fontainebleau that a very important hold that is on all of the above mentioned climbs has been chipped! This is some of the worst climbing news that I have heard in a long time. This was one of my favorite climbs i had ever done and it such a tragedy knowing that it will never be the same.
here is a picture of the chipped hold. Here

laSportiva Legends day1
5 boulders and they are all HARD! the five invited were able to practice them before the event which is a really cool format because they can now be very difficult boulders!

Nor'easter
The noreaster is a mere 3 weeks away and I am getting pretty psyched! This is my first bouldering comp in quite a while. I have been training a bunch inside to beat the heat and prepare for the upcoming event.

The last day
The trip is now coming to a close after a bit over a month of climbing around Cape Town. This trip has been a real eye opener for me in terms of the potential development that is possible here and all around Southern Africa. I am definitely looking forward to a return trip where I can spend more time exploring and more time in general down here. I have had a blast and have been fortunate enough...

Cathulhu, 8A+, FA (Topside, Echo Valley)
The past week has been a ton of fun! After destroying my skin I took two rest days and surfed one of them! The surfing here is on par with the climbing and it is amazing to be in a place that has so much to offer. Lately I have been focusing on two projects that I would really like to complete before the end of my trip. Both of which are extremely...
