Filling in the blanks...



Everything is getting sent, things are getting repeats... all is well in Chaos Canyon, there are however a few amazingly hard things left to do.. its cool to see your home town area become a five star mecca for hard bouldering, almost over night, in fact most of the good sends happen at night...
The days get shorter but the temps are getting amazing... the holds that used to feel shit are becoming jugs, everything changes in the fall.. the next two months are the best times for sure..
look for some new footage on momentumvm, and moon climbing.

Days to Remember.


Well well, I have not updated in a lil while and I'm sorry but times they are a changin... The park is not what it used to be. With the growth of boulderers in the area comes some bad apples and they often spoil the whole bunch or at least ruin the taste.. It seems the punter climbing community has tried to police the park and is taking pads down to the trash.. so we have to work harder and do things a lil more dangerous to get the job done... But what a job has been done. TY LANDMAN HAS MADE THE SECOND ASCENT OF JADE, V15... another majestic night it was and this time I capured it on HD quality film.. we warmed up on the usual, the Skippers and the El Jorges, Jackie Chiddo did the right El Jorge, V9, good form... then we headed up the hill to the green 45 wall and met up with Daniel Woods and Paul Robinson. They both had done the third and fourth ascents of the Wild Cat, hard V12, nice one boys.. The sun set and the temps got good. Jeff Landman flashed suicide season, V8 very high, and I tried a sit or squat start to Rev de Wills, V7, a very good project... Ty got syked on Jade and gave it a few tries. He was doing good but it was dark. He pronounced he would give it one more try and like that was hanging from the jug and made it look easy. A day to remember for all.... nice one Ty....
the footage will be out soon on Momentumvm, moonclimbing or last case on my web site Hardclimbs...

For now though enjoi Jackie's ascent of the right El Jorge plus Nick and Gomez tearing it up......
