First of all Happy New Year..
I got back from my Road Trip and went to Utah for a few weeks with my father.
I did some climbing out there and hung out with old friends like Noah, Dana, and even Chris came up to enjoy the festivities.
Getting home we continued to develop the dessert of Culp Valley, and got some climbing in @ Mt. Woodson.
I gotta get out on the road again though. Staying at home I finally acumulated a 75 inch mattress and need get my car together.
I have been climbing but definately not as much when I was able to wake up next to beautiful rocks.
I plan to take off where I can get the most climbing in.
I took this semester off school. I really need to work on what I love, and I love to climb. This way I can apply myself in the job market (which I know isn't too swell, but...)
Plans are to eventually meet up with Ryan from Fort Collins, CO in Vegas where we're gonna' go hang out in St. George where Ryan's mom also happens to live.
Dope.
I will also be working on a video for Asana Climbing about climbing safety so stay tuned for that. Fortunately, my dad is able to hook me up with a camera. I am really grateful that my parents support my climbing. Although, this trip will be about branching away from home; I still see my father's sharing and my mom's support as motivation to persue, dedicate, and commit to obstacles I know , with perservierence I can achieve.
I made a video out of the footage I captured at Culp Valley.
This problem is super rad.
The rock is a protruding figure with a knobby arete on the left side. To the way right is a gravely crack with maybe some more potential on the very far right. Nestled in between is a monolith gray in color. A jump start to this feature leaves you hanging while the challenging moves are ahead. A killer all out deadpoint to a solid patina feature in a seam leaves 1 foot hanging and another 12 feet of climbing on a direct line that hadn't been climbed.
The camera battery was low so we switched off the cameras and continued to climb our hearts out. I nailed another 1st ascent that starts below a roof and involves a series of using technique with dynamic movement to move out of the roof to a series of left hand bumps to big moves and a technical mantel. Really fun. I was really happy with that trip out to Culp. I took my friend who had never been outdoors, out.
Hope you enjoy the video, and hope your all doing well. Check out the link below to check out the new video.
Should be around San Diego setting up my car. See ya' out there.
Hope the video creates some inspires some emotion.
Stay tuned for a great year.
Til' then I'll be trying to hard keep motivated and in shape.
Peace.
