2nd Stop

Joe's Valley. Dodging wildfires and beating the heat, we had the most plus least minus campsite right by the river. Would love to go back with good conditions ;) Here are a couple from Joes.

BKB made it down south and is currently on a whirlwind tour through the big south destinations. I was able to break from the nerding and do a little climboiding. I hope to get out again before they depart early next week. That would be nice. Here are a couple shots from the few I did take. NEED TO CLIMB MORE.

Dabbing of the Times

Ummm, Garrett just snuck a "Dab" onto the damn NY Times website. WOOT!

“I haven’t competed for 10 years,” said Garrett Koeppicus of Brooklyn. “If this comp wasn’t right in the smack dab of New York City, the place I love and the place I’ve lived for nine years, I’d probably have nothing to do with it.” -GK

A couple shots from the other weekend at LRC.

Dave Failla on Mono Doigt v5


Initially, thinking of mono pulling was pretty much a turn off for me, but the pockets scattered up the face turned out to be vurr cool. I bet this thing climbs even better will cool temps. Juicing the first "mono" requires bearing down with the middle finger and stacking the ring and index finger (or whatever u can fit on top of it. You then get a high step on a gunksy pebble or start hold) and crank up to a smaller mono, then balancy move surfing out left to good pocket, jack up feet then either weird-extended-cross move to crimp rail or top out straight up via slopppperz. Like a Boss. A V5 BOSS. OHYAYER.


Now and Zen v6/7


Sharp left hand crimp and slightly less sharp right hand pinch to start. Right heel up on shelf then big move (for me) to accuracy-requiring-bastard-crimp. Adjust feet, catch small crimp out left then fun surfing via jugs to top. This thing was pwning me, kinda threw a wobbler, can't lie. Waaaahhh!!! Oh, bouldering...

asdfasdf. I am vicariously bouldering through blog. Hope there is climbing this weekend. HOLLAH!!
