Cove Beach Climbing, Sandstone and Granite?

So my friend Michael (I'll try and get him on a blog of his own), managed to send Mt. Hood on Wednesday, and told me we were climbing on Thursday. So I got my stuff together and woke up early in the morning (early for me is before noon). So I got up around...

Built a campus board in the garage...

After leaving V-world early because of the kids coming in around 4'ish, we decided to do some building in the garage. This time we figured on building a simple campus board for upper body strength training. Here were the basic plans: Build an A-Frame...

V-World Wendesday Workout, aka The Traversal climber is going to get donkey kicked.

Okay, for those unfamiliar with bouldering, there are many different types of problems to work on. Generally a marked problem on the wall is going to be for strength or technique. These consist of about 5-10 moves and allow various types of foot usage...

V-World Workout: Saturday circuit... V1 too easy?

Well, I hit the gym Friday night for a couple of hours and last night for a couple of hours. I must say, Friday, I didn't get a darn thing done, so I won't even talk about it. Simply couldn't pull myself off the ground, but I did start to notice a trend...

Back from Leavenworth, and boy was it fun...

Note: Stay tuned for pictures and GPS coords since I don't have them yet. Okay, so we managed to get a room for Monday night so we headed up a bit earlier than we expected. We weren't supposed to leave until late Tuesday night, but our friend got an extra...

Off to Leavenworth for some outdoor climbing...

Well, one of the features of the places that I stay when on vacation is that they don't have any sort of ethernet hook-ups in the rooms. They still have a small datacenter, but not something you would really want to connect to the internet with given...

Got some new climbing shoes today, Mad Rock Mugens

For those that have seen me around the gym, it was time to get some new shoes. Being a new climber I quickly blue out the toe on my La Sportiva Mythos. Most likely the blowout was from inferior toeing on texture, and even more likely from jumping off...

V-World Thursday Workout, Burnt-Toasted-Sore

Well, I went ahead and burned another three hours at vertical world today. Could argue that it was a waste of time, since I wasn't able to hit anything very hard, but I did manage to get my muscles stretched out, relaxed, and into the groove of things...

V-World Wednesday Workout, (Training Exercise #1)

Well, I took off from climbing since Friday, and just headed back to the gym today. To my surprise a couple of new routes sprouted from the bouldering walls, including a new V2 which is very nice with lots of footwork and no painful hand-moves. I went...

State of the Gym V1

Most people don't even know that I have a home climbing gym, because I dropped off the face of the earth nearly six months ago to take some private time. In November I started climbing at vertical world and by December 20th I had my first wall up at home...
