New Stuff

Wow!!! It has been awhile since I last posted something here. So much has happened. I am climbing a lot right now and finding all sorts of killer new problems to try. I have been working really hard on my photography too. Things are going off right now and I will be back with some cool new shots soon.

So after shooting all digital for the past year I have just invested in a film camera and a bunch of film. I am super excited to shoot this stuff again. Digital is still going to take over but I think shooting some film will really help dial everything in, make me slow down to think about every shoot and really develop my skills.

As for climbing lately...nothing has been going on. Just training in the gym because of the rain. It has been frustrating to say the least. The weather looks like it is finally getting better and will hopefully hold long enough to get out on the rock. I am going to be shooting with the Weekend Warrior crew for a new episode which should be cool.

It is a really busy time right now...I'll keep you up to date with everything as it goes down.

A shot of mine ran in last months UrbanClimber Magazine (Issue #9, Feb/Mar 06). The shot is of Sean McColl sending Silent Menace in Squamish, BC. Jason, Sean's older brother, did a great job on the short piece that ran with the photo. I look forward to working with Sean and Jason again.

First Days in Squamish!!!

2006-03-28T15:22:00.001-08:00

After what seems like one of the wettest Fall and Winter seasons ever, the rain let up long enough for a couple days of bouldering in Squamish. It was so good to climb on real rock again. Saturday was pretty chill. I spent most of the day shooting photos and scoping out lines to climb and lines to shoot. I was so amped I made plans to head up the next day with my friend George to get on some harder stuff.

Sunday was another killer day. This time I spent most of the day sessioning the problems. We started out at the usuall warmups and then we went right to The Proposal. George is so close to sending its ridiculous. He showed me some new creative beta and I got kinda psyched to give this thing a go sometime soon. Then we headed to a project on the Octagaon Boulder. It is a low start to a problem put up last summer called Big Dreams. The project starts way under this roof and climbs out on fairly good holds but uses some crazy body tension and funky movements to get to the lip. Pulling the lip and then continuing up the high top out gives this thing full value and is something that is really getting me off my ass to climb more. Next time I am out there I will snap a few shots of it.

Next it was off to check out this "route" called Animal Magnetism. I have wanted to boulder this 3 bolt 13a for a while, but never really got around to it. Jason Kehl did a boulder send of this 20 foot problem last summer, so I was psyched to finally check it out. I ended up doing the thing first try which was pretty cool.
