Day 318 - Eldorado Canyon

There are at least 2 climbers in this photo. Can you spot them?

Climbed at Eldorado Canyon.  Jacquie led trad for the first time.  She is such a beast.  I don't know how I can possibly keep up with her.  She is intimidatingly good at climbing and is also insanely good looking.  I just feel so intimidated when I am with her because she is so awesome.  I would talk more about how amazing she is but I would run out of words.

(I didn't write the above paragraph)

Day 317 - Flagstaff Boulders

The Capstan [West Face] [5.10a]

Today I sent my tallest boulder problem to date! (Sorry for the heart attack Dad. Again, I'm posting this after getting back down). This thing looked to be around 30 feet. Mountain Project says 5.10a. Felt like V2/V3. I setup a toprope and climbed it 5 times before getting comfortable enough to boulder it. Then bouldered it twice. Really exciting stuff! Then ran into a couple other climbers and tried some other boulders in the area. Excited for Eldorado Canyon this weekend!

Day 316 - Swing Dancing

Today I joined Jacquie for her Thursday night swing night. Despite making it clear that I wouldn't participate in dancing, I was somehow forced to dance anyway. I didn't do swing justice, but it was worth a shot.

Day 315 - Whipper Wednesday Has Returned!

Movement Climbing and Fitness, Boulder CO

Boulder got 7 inches of snow last night. Today was my first time climbing in a gym in about 2 months. While it was strange readjusting to plastic holds, it was also nice to be able to train and work on my endurance. Jacquie and I worked a really fun 5.12b for a little while.

Day 314 - Boulder Canyon: Trad Tuesday

Yes, we top-roped this route on trad Tuesday

Joined Jacquie and her friend Jake for their weekly Trad Tuesday session at Boulder Canyon. It was a short and sweet session. Just enough trad climbing to scratch that itch to place gear. Afterwards, we headed to Mountain Sun Brew Pub for food, drinks and to bother Ariel while she was working. Finished the night at Post Brewery to bother Jacquie's roommate while she was working too. I think I've been to just as many breweries as climbing crags.
