Little by little...

 I'm getting closer to the crux! Yesterday with Lucas finally made it to the undercling and made a few bumps toward the crimp before winging off!! Progress KICK ASS!!! Then starting below the crux on the undercling and the last left bump hit the crimp got the right foot up in the crack and made the move out to the right hand jug. Pete was up there and he has all the magic beta for that thing and keyed me into getting the jam at the first anchor, definitely key beta! Thanks bro!! Lucas is once again gunning it up Taste the Pain and is really close to unlocking the sequence after the jam clip!! GUN IT BRO!!! Well Thursdays the day so here we go! 

STEEP CLIMB AAARGH!!

 Steep climb I will get you! Last weekend Lucas Larsen and myself made the no so long trek up to star walls to once again give some attempts on the projects. When we arrived there were a ton of people at the crag, which wasn't all that bad, most were psyched and that helped with the motivation. Lucas hopped on Taste the Pain 5.13c and made it to the hand jam made the clip and started up into the next section until he whipped off, good showing bro!! Next I hopped back on Steep Climb Named Desire 5.14a, at least that's the grade I'm giving it because it's hard as shit, and once again having issues resting after Warp Factor 5.13a. I watched this guy Mike from the Bay get this awsome right hand jam it looked fairly bomber so that's the next mission, get the jam then GUN IT!!!

Dark Matter

 So here it is in all it's glory! Unrepeated and waiting for someone to step up and GUN IT! This is one of my favorite problems, and the one that took me the longest. I put in over 100 attempt and 2 years to finally send this beast. The problem is really hard to work mostly because the crux is one of the last moves, making it imposable to just pull on and wire that move. I ended up snowshoeing up there with some friends and with the snow covering the bottom I could finally feel the moves out. Come and get it ya'll!!

DONUT!!!!

We recently had a Dough Boys Donuts move in close to the casa and Gwenny tried out the Homer Simpson! YUMMY!!

...and it begins!
