Chris Lee is Lazy

I hope he posts up some pictures.

Back In Da Hood

So the southeast is pretty fucking awesome. And scary. I asked one of my friends back at school if he'd ever been in a backwoods town in the south. He said that, as a black person, he would go no where near such a place. Let me tell you, just being a northerner is spooky. Anyhow, that said, the climbing was great, and I didn't want to come back to work and the snowy white north. I am pleased/scared to see that it's sunny and in the 50's. Guess on my one non-full work day a week we'll have to get out and send. W3rd. Chris has lots of pics, which hopefully he'll post up soon. I sent 115 new problems in the course of 9 days of climbing, I've got nothing to complain about. And the rest of the crew sent really strong too. It was a very fun trip.

pirate kansas 5 days left.

this is a crosspost.

Arkansas is AMAZING. With only 5 days left, I regret that I've seen so little of the rock this state has to offer ... which at the same time is SO MUCH rock. At a gorgeous local (access sensitive) area, there is more rock than a crew of the strongest climbers could develop in a lifetime (a mere 20 minute drive from where I have been staying, in Dardanelle.) An hour and a half away is the town of Jasper and the Horseshoe Canyon Ranch and surrounding areas (Busby Hollow, Low Gap, The Zone, and other areas.) I hadn't been sending many hard problems on the trip (coming close to lots, but sending nothing hard) until this Sunday. I did a problem at Low Gap called Brass Knuckles. The first photo I've posted here is of Brass Knuckles. The other photos are of another problem on the same boulder, named Bloody Knuckles, which goes at V12 supposedly.

I am having too great a time and I don't want to go back to New York.

Sun Prabola

Back from the Good Island! Took Brad up to see Van Courtland Park. It was a beautiful day. I know I have been forbidden from posting pics of this problem but I don't care. If you don't like it, do better. Hope the dirtey crew is having a great trip! Em pics: Large male Iguana in the Mangroves in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. A trained eye can spot a female in the backround. Brad samples the undocumentable Sketch factor on SlingBlade.

got a video camera.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

ps. <3 Arrrrrrkansas.

In Need of Camera

Arkansas is sick with a capital S-I-C-K. Climbing at secret spot yesterday that sharma was not even shown. Projects abound. Two illsickgnar heinous projects started yesterday on bullet hard, clean sandstone. both proud highballs. one prolly V8/9ish, the other prolly V10ish?? I NEED a camera. Damon Corso and Merrick Ales both considering coming here... hope one of them does because this shit needs documenting (under the location: "secret spot, ozarks" of course.)

Wish you were here. Seriously.

The dirty dirty

1) this is brad
2) i'll be climbing down south december 28th, 29th and 30th.
3) who will be where. i'd like to link up with the crew as my crew from college that lives in chatanooga are doing more complaining and smoking then climbing lately.

thanks,
brad

ps.... the gunks are still snowy snowy. was up there for a long warm session yesterday, props to eric on all the rockstar boulder sends and to andy on twister.

4) this is eric. Yes and icy icy making downclimb = more scary. Great temps. Sorry I missed everyone in the city this weekend. Dabs abound. Hope VC was prosperous. Looks like I'm headed to P.R. for a while. Would still love to hit teh dirty although many obstacles stand. EM pics: Brad on Twister and Andy on Tequila. Tequila with a Twister.

Peace Out

Goin to Arkansas for 27 days, starting tomorrow. Gonna send some shiz.

SS egg
Originally uploaded by apt8.

eric, scott and i made our way through the snow this past sunday. each one of us were shot down by different gill problems, even though we clearly had the holds. eric on the egg, scott on the double clutch and me on the gill crack.

although snowy, it was pretty warm and very relaxing to be up there.

check out the photo sequence of eric on the gill egg (although they were from 2 seperate attempts the combo uploaded is much cooler looking) and scott sending.

+ Scott gave his head cam a test run. Altough the aim was off, I can't wait to see the footage. Rich continues to represent his dark jedi backround. You can see his ominous figure spotting Scott on Double Clutch. Chris... I have some pics I should forward to your skillful Photoshop desk.

P.S. Scott, know that I would love to play golf with you anytime.
