Howdy Everyone,It's the first Monday of the month! Here's what's been happening on the blog: Training Journal: 4/11/22 – 4/17/22 Monday Bouldering @ Movement, 2 hours Good session. Resent a new V7, so two V7s for me in this session and many V6’s. Finished off with 12 pullups in a row. Very much a lifetime PR. My arbitrary lifetime goal has been 15 (probably because I set it when I was 15!), Read More Training Journal: 4/4/22 – 4/10/22 Monday Bike Commuting, 20 milesTuesdayBouldering @ Movement, 2 hours WednesdayBike ...Continue Reading

I wasn’t expecting any great performance from myself after recently doing Pikes Peak from Manitou Springs, but I had enough fun, I guess. After wandering around trying to find the perfect boulder that was engaging enough/something I could actual do in a session, I decided to check out a slab b ...Continue Reading

Here's what's been happening on the blog: Training Journal: 9/20/21 – 9/26/21 Monday Bouldering @ Movement, 2 hoursFine session, but I almost really screwed up the pooch big time. I was working on a V6 on the overhanging wall that a few weeks ago, I couldn’t get the first move on. A few moves in, there’s a very deep and secure heel hook for your left foot, before reaching for a handhold on your right.
