I was reminded by a fallen dead tree that most climbing accidents occur on the descent.

Wow, it's been a while. Yellow Spur was ticked in August. No 12a redpoint yet mostly because I haven't been trying too hard. I'm feeling lucky this season, though. The Neptune Hitlist is slowly diminishing, and there are many routes to be ticked. Just got back from Red Rock Canyon last week with my girlfriend which made a great start to the season. I hope to get back there in the fall for some 6+ pitch routes (namely Frogland, Epinephrine, and Crimson Crysalis to start). Unfortunately my old trad partner lost his mental game in 2010 and is taking a break. On the bright side I'm climbing steadily with my girlfriend now and a couple other regulars. I'm still open to climbing with new folks if you're interested.

So, why is it hard to find a steady climbing partner with similar goals as me? Hm. Well, my 12a goal fell to the wayside. July and August were a bust for various reasons. Regardless I still hit some targets. V5 at Morrison and multiple onsites near my "limit." The latest was three 11a onsites in one weekend. The season is not over yet. Yellow Spur will be mine! I also want an 11c redpoint. That 13a is looking really far away though.

As of 2/4/09:
I should just start a blog. Back on track. The wind farm has been ticked. Now, I just have 2 weeks left in MN and I'll be back in CO. I've been training diligently according to Eric Horst's "Conditioning for Climbing" book. I've added V6 to the list of goals for this season, too. AND by the end of 2010 I want 5.13a ticked as well.

As of 10/24/08:
Well, so much for goals. I had a knee injury which benched me for a few months. July and August were fun with some moderate tics from the Neptune Hit List, though I do not think I reached my halfway point. And now, I'm grounded. Work has landed me in Minnesota building wind farms for the rest of the year. At least I have a gym nearby. Oh well. I still have my goals.

As of 3/20/08:
Goals this season: redpoint a 12a sport, onsite Yellow Spur in Eldo, and complete at least half of Neptune Mountaineering's 100 Hit List.
