Japeezy - Part 3 (AKA Neko Punch) - Ogawayama, Japan
Neko Punch. Don't know the term? Hang on to a hold as tight as you can. Slip off it and your fist clenches, then rams itself (and your knuckles) into the rock. That's a neko punch...
(Today's Japanese lesson: Neko = Cat, Punch = Punch... it makes sense when you see/do it.)

Kitayama Koen - Part 2
Silly Vimeo. I'm sitting on the third and last video, but it won't give me enough space to upload Parts 2 and 3 together. Next week, then. For now, a saweeeeet glimpse of Kitayama Koen, situated up in the hills of Nishinomiya, Hyogo. Depending on where you are in the park, you can climb some sick problems with Osaka and Kobe sprawled out below you. If you can stand 14 hours on a plane, it's worth visiting.

Keepin it eezy.
Hello Dabbers,
it's been long, sleepless, and a now jet-lagged adventure, but I'm back from Japan and have the hard iMovie-fought goods with me. Forgive the lack of Problem names and grades.. I'll have them eventually, but wanted to put this up instead of waiting for all of the email responses to come in. (Truth be told, I don't know for sure that I could even translate the names... or grades for that matter, anyway.) Mr. GK, Mr. CL, I've stolen the eezy theme. It fits. If you want it back, leave 20,000 RMB and a cold stone creamery gift certificate underneath the 45 at the dentists.
I'm sure we can work something out.
Two more areas in the works. Later all, see you soon.

a day in the woods
 |
| From climbing |
since no one else was willing to ditch work, school, or whatever obligations they felt beholden to keep, I engaged a stealth solo mission to pcg. it was a prototypically amazing fall day on the gneiss. I almost ended my day early by re-spraining my ankle on the walk in!
 |
| wtf?!? |
undeterred, I recalled the advice of my middle school football coach, "walk it off son" and proceeded to the boulders with ginger step. not so secretly, I wondered if my ill-luck on the approach would translate into the same such for climbing. Fortunately, after a slow, tentative warm-up, it turned into my best day ever at the ice pond.

Holy. Epic. Batman.
Well, it's been an epic week. To say the least. Last Tuesday, Mr.Robinson was topping out his nemesis, the Never Ending Story. He was a move away from the finishing jug (for the second time that day) when his right foot slipped off and he took an extremely uncontrolled fall. I was unable to get a solid hold on him, and he landed on his foot, very awkwardly. The landing zone under Never Ending Story is all rock, and the first thing out of his mouth was "I broke my ankle!". We immediately submerged his foot in the river and with the help an amazing Swedish couple, and a nice British crew, were able to get him out safely, and into a hospital in Chur, which is about 30k away from the Magic Wood.
One screw, some sewing, and three nights later Paul was out of the hospital, and just flew back on Monday. On the drive back to the apt on Friday, Ryan and I stopped over in the Magic Wood to head back over to the Bruno Bloc (the river boulder). While warming up on the Super Nova, the slopiest problem one can imagine, he tore the gnarliest flapper I've seen. Seriously. I though I heard his fingernail ripping off. It wasn't. Good lord it was heinous. I did put down the Never Ending Story part II, 8a with authoritay. Snap.
Anyhow, here's a vid of Paul killing it. Footage of NES II and other dank things to come. JYEAH

Dabbing in the Orient
Hi all! Remember me?
Last week I finally got to climb on some real rocks out here in Singapore. The Dairy Farm is an area with a few sport routes in an area that was a quarry at some point in the past. These days it's more or less jungle, which makes for some dramatic approaches.
Climbing there is a little risky, since the blasted rock can apparently come down at very bad times. However, I was climbing with a few folks who run the local gym that I've been climbing at, and they seemed to know what they were doing.
After some delays owing to all the belay devices being with someone who had wandered off to get some food, we climbed a 5a and followed it up with a 6a+ (about 5.6 and 5.10a respectively). All the climbs were super slopey, and the humidity didn't help matters. Nor did my overall lack of skillz. Still I had a lot of fun.
Cap it off with a bit of abseiling and a quick sprint back to civilization while being pursued by an absolutely epic thunderstorm and you've got a more-or-less perfect day.
Great to see all the updates. Keep 'em coming, wherever you are!
