finally
we made it out saturday to do some backcountry boarding. we were up at lost trail, chair 4 was the goal. of course we did not know it took more than half an hour just to get there. the temps were crisp, around the zero fahrenheit mark. with the dogs and a good 4 feet of unpacked powder which was pure sinker we had to turn around about half way up. the downhill was fun but short, yukon stayed with us even without a leash!!! whoohooooo!!! then of course the hike back, man that sucked. but it was a good 3.5h in the snow, so it was great! and for the theory that after a streneous day in the cold you can drink as much as you want without getting drunk because your body burns all the calories it can and utilizes the alkohol: no, not right!

update

much has happened. lindsay finally climbed the dope show traverse, a V5+ at the SuperRad boulder (photo shown below...)!!! we climbed some on sunday and surprisingly found ourselves at the big chuck. after a good hour we left and no one (brenden, ian, lindsay, shawna and me) actually could stick the first move to catch the second hold. shut down sooo bad! but hey, time to keep the spirit up and try again and again and again. lindsay actually almost stuck the first move on zulu yesterday! not bad. Yukon got PIT-tagged today. she didn't like the fucking huge needle too much, but got over it quickly. now she likely sleeps on the bed waiting for us to come back. good life...

eddie
took the afternoon off to go to eddie´s boulder and finally sent the cruiser traverse. it was wet and slippery so i didn´t actually cruise it but who cares. season end is getting real close now. outside of climbing yukon is being hormonal and not very fun to be around. lindsay has her own blog now!!! later, c

zulu

i am sooo psyched, i sent zulu yesterday. my first V7 and hard earned. i projected it a while with many goes and finally got it yesterday. jarred gave me great beta and brendan was so supportive. it took me another 25 goes... that after doing the hard moves and falling at the relatively easy topout at my third attempt. it was getting dark and rainy and i got very tired. but i finaly got it in the shine of the fire. had a couple of drinks to celebrate... such a great season!!!
in the photo zulu sit-starts overhanging in the corner facing us and tops out in the middle of the face.

my weekend with Dr. Jones
lazy days... not enough snow to go out with the board or snowshoes and too much to climb. so i started watching the indiana jones trilogy. still rocks! i also did like the clos du bois merlot. well, i spent some time at the UM gym saturday climbing and setting routes with many good people from the big city. good fun! hoping tomorrow will do the trick and miss yukon van poopsen, lady to fartsalot and me can play outside. can´t wait for lindsay to come back!

mondays
just seem to be a little worse. I think the indoor season opening party in our garage was a blast! we had good times climbing lost horse this weekend too. luckily we can make fires just next to the boulders here... lindsay got sooo close to snatching the traverse that i'm sure it is going down this season. jarred showed me some tricks for Zulu and i actually stuck the first move!!! psyched to go again and maybe get lucky on Zulu. otherwise next season fo' shizz. this time aaron had three eggs in the very cool chicken (and goat) house...

reelrock
Tired day today. we were at the reelrock tour last night in missoula and met up with friends for beers and burgers after the show. it was really good fun, amazing footage in the films and great times at the old post with so many friendly people. then again, today is pretty slow. luckily it is raining... and: lara ate eggs for braeksfast that her very own chicken laid, amazing!!!

Got It!!! had to change the beta a bit, but Dita von Teese Eliminate is no longer a project. climbed with jarred, he got Zulu (V7) and made it look smooth and easy. just after that i sent the new problem, maybe V6, probably hard V5. so it was a very good day. pizza and wine after that wasn't too bad either... off to the Lori Cumstain Boulder at the blodget campground for lunch today, then loHo after work. busy days, busy days!

climbed again at lost horse yesterday with lindsay and mikael (welcome back!). found a new line right next to the infamous Zulu problem. Still a project but i got the name "Dita Von Teese Eliminate" in mind... hope i get it today, it's a dyno off of a bad crimp and a sidepull into a two finger pocket. all on an overhanging face. then eliminate the good hold and go for the topout via slopers and crimps. might be V6...
