Seasons Change

I dug up some footage from this winter and just thought I would share. I had some crazy good times at LRC, climbing with so many amazing people. On just these two problems alone I climbed with: Lana, Bri, Andrew, Carl, Brent, Brian, Kit, Warren, Josh, so many others and sent it on a day when the Boone crew rolled 12 deep. Madness. That has to be the best part of climbing.

Heres to more good times!

Chattnasty Summer/Fall LRC Video

So I've been sitting on this pile of footage for a while. I sporadically took some video over the summer and early fall while exploring/training for the Triple Crown.



The climbing at LRC is everything you've heard, amazing, a little slabby, full of slimpers and incredibly concentrated. There is something for everybody and I spent more of my time here climbing then any other single area. So good!!!! I've got beta for days so let go climb there.

I've got a couple more vids worth of footage that I am working on. These won't take 4 months, promise.

Thanks for all the love on the last post. Its amazing having a groups of friends who have your back when you make a ridiculous decision. Also you are all now contractually obligated to: let me sleep on your couch and feed me.

PUT ON!

No Comment

Jarred awake at 5am, my heart pumping uncontrollably, why do I feel this way?

Today I am quitting my job and becoming a full time climber at least for a little while. The idea of being unemployed, now, when most of my friends are struggling to find work has been keeping me up at night. But I know it is something I must do.

14 hours later, I'm still shaking a little bit, and I can smell my armpits nervously sweating, as I walk into the cash office to tell my boss.
"Uh,eerrrr,uh bear with me here but I want to put in my two weeks notice."
"OK, can I ask why?" she replied way more relaxed then I was expecting.
"Well I have the opportunity to do something I've always dreamed about and climb full time..."
The look on her face implied "No Comment."

Now, I've got two weeks to: take the GRE, outfit my car, save some money and try to line up a job for the fall before I head out. I'm really psyched, a little bit scared and its too late now to change my mind!
