New Boulder in Baldy!!

Rob stumbled onto this boulder and got psyched and showed a few of us. We are working to develop it. I can't believe ive never seen this boulder before. It is up the Ice House Saddle trail about half a mile. It is off the trail to the right on the other side of the stream. There are a few possible lines on it. I spent some time today repelling and cleaning the line that i spotted on the right side. Doesn't look very had but looks proud. The landing sucks and this thing is HIGH. probably about 25 ft. its going to need a good many pads and some spotting. Haven't decided a name for the boulder yet... Im thinking the Ant Hill Boulder. (The ground is moving with crazy ants that bite hard) Here are some photos i was able to snap off.


The Boulder from the approach across the Stream. This doesn't get you even close to the size of the boulder.

Tramway 4/25

We had a pretty eventful day up at Tram today with great temps. Group consisted of me Trevor, Adam and Kevin. Kevin sent Slot Machine V7 and Swing Dance V7. Adam and I both did Swing Dance for the first time. Trevor repeated Left Hand of Darkness first go (my project) and attempted the Second Ascent of Which Way Jose V9 ? supposedly... Here are a few photos of the day.

Trevor working Which Way Jose

I told Trevor to take my camera and snap this while we were driving. He said it was a dumb idea but i was able to salvage and OK picture out of it.

Bishop Jan and Feb and March

Here is a bunch of photos from Bishop in Jan. and Feb. and March. Great Trips. Trevor sent his Nemesis, Soul Slinger V9, and the Buttermilker V12. I did Soul Slinger V9 and Freeze Short V9. Ian and Nick did Xavior's Roof V11 First go. Impressive. I shot some cool photos of them.

HUECO!!!!

The day after Christmas Me, Ashley Potesta, Trevor Smith, Rob Bufkin, Kyle Own and Garretn Greggor. Starting off with us crashing in New Mexico sliding on Ice... Robs car breaking down in Texas, it was sick. 8 days of radness... Climbing, eating, not showering and drinking. A lot of sends went down. Trevor got Pumped Full of SemenV9 , Flashed New Religion Sit V8 and did his project Free Willy V10/11... Kyle did Barefoot on Sacred Ground V12. Garret did Anal Intruder V11, Fuzy Navel V11. Rob Flashed Sex After Death V8. I did Pumped full of Semen V9, Paleozoic V9, and Dope Fiend Low V9. It was a good trip. The New Years Eve bash at the Rock Ranch was ridiculous. They stacked a mountain of pallets about 20ft high with a christmas tree on top...Doused it in gasoline...and had the craziest bonfire of my life along with a bunch of dirtbag climbers partying.

This has become my infamous shot from this trip.

Sex After Death V8 almost flashed it. Good job on the Flash Rob.

My favorite shot of the trip.. me on Better Eat Your Wheaties V8.... didn't finish.. twas very sharp. Trevor on the camera.
